Lillian loves playing Allie Gator Chomp, she loves the pretty purple and pink cards. The game is very easy for little ones to play with and have fun while learning. There are two different decks of cards: the pink Allie cards and the purple Mama's pie cards. You give each player seven pink Allie cards and put the remaining stack in the middle of the playing area. Then simply place 4 purple cards around the pink Allie card, one on each side.

At the beginning of your turn, you draw a card. If any of the cards in your hand match any of the 4 Mama pie cards, you place it on the one that it matches. When any of the 4 Mama Pie cards has a total of 2 matching cards placed on it, you get to take that stack. Whoever has the most card stacks at the end wins.

This is a great way to teach little ones how to read color and number words. It also teaches matching with corresponding numbers and colors of everyday objects. Lillian has had a blast with this game!

Grab the Match is a classic game of memory and matching. Flip over a card and find its match. Whoever has the most cards at the ends wins! Lillian loves matching games so it came as no surprise that she loved this one too! This game is a little different and more advanced than a typical kid’s memory matching game though. If you flip over the word yellow (color as well) and you flip over a crescent moon that is yellow, you have a match. Or if you flip over the word oval you need to find the card that has ovals on it. This game teaches colors, shapes, and sight-word recognition through matching. It is a fun game to play with younger kids who are already in school learning.
