Whatever Next is an all-acting, singing, laughing, hopping, crawling, jumping game!

Players can wrestle with a crocodile, walk on the moon or pretend to be a penguin and crawl through the legs of everyone in the room!

What’s In The Fridge? Is a super board game to help children use their
memory to find all the ingredients they need for a tasty snack, but making sure they avoid any nasty ‘mould food’ cards, which is great for food education! We’ve had this game reviewed by @multiplemummy who’s children gave it the big thumbs up as a complete bargain!
Board games have been a staple in households for centuries as they teach important social skills, such as communicating verbally, sharing, and taking turns. Now they also have an educational purpose and can increase your child’s ability to focus their attention, as well as being a great way to spend time with your children.
Did you know..? The world’s oldest board game, although sometimes it is claimed to be chess or checkers, is actually Senet – an Egyptian game found in burial sites from around 3500 BC and featured in hieroglyphs. The game board has three rows of ten squares with two sets of pawns. There is a lively debate over the official rules of the game, but one common thought is that the game involved throwing sticks or dice to see how many squares you could move. Many old games have been found in Egyptian tombs, as rich parents often buried their children with their favourite toys and games to keep them happy in the afterlife.
