Brainbox Inventions Review

Both of my children are huge fans of Brainbox games as they are very challenging and of course fun too. We have previously reviewed ABC, My First Picture etc. This BrainBox Inventions is all about showing when, where and by whom these everyday items were invented. It is suitable for ages 8 years and above for one or more players. Inside this magnetic cube-shaped box, there are 70 beautifully illustrated cards, one rules card, one sand timer, one die.

Learning with Alphabet Squiggle

Recently, I won a Twitter competition from Green Board Games and they sent me this Alphabet Squiggle on-the-go for my children. This is the travel size edition. It helps to introduce letters to children in a fun and clever new way. Children will learn and improve letter recognition, increase their creativity and even strengthen their vocabulary.

Brainbox Games My First Sound Snap

Brainbox Games My First Sound Snap is a unique deck of cards that lets you play two family favourites, Snap and Pairs using early-years reading strategies. It is suitable for aged 4+ and comes in 52 full colour playing cards plus 3 rules cards. BrainBox kindly give us pack one and pack two to do this review.  Pack one uses letters A – M and pack two uses letters N – Z. It feels like the cards are coated which should make them more durable and water resistant. This is obviously really useful with children!

BrainBox Games Colour and Learn

Recently, we reviewed the BrainBox games My First Picture and ABC. Honestly, I did not know that they also have colouring books. I was given these two Colour and Learn Animals and Teddy Bears books for review. It is suitable for age 5 onwards. Each book has 24 tear out pictures. They are not just an original colouring book. They are educational and each picture is vividly  imaginative. The animals are not the most realistic you will ever see, but this may be to allow for easier colouring.

BrainBox – ABC Level 2

We have previously reviewed BrainBox My First Picture and we really loved it.  It is simple yet fun to play and exercises those little brain cells! BrainBox has also kindly given us ABC for review.  It is suitable for four years and above for one or more players. BrainBox ABC is full to the brim with fantastic images to help children recognise objects beginning with each letter of the alphabet as well as the more common blends.

The object of the game is to study a card for 10 seconds and then answer a question based on the roll of a dice. If the question is answered correctly, the card is kept and the person with the most number of cards after 5 or 10 minutes is the winner. This simple concept can be played by all ages and in large groups as well as a 1 person game.

BrainBox – My First Pictures

Both of my children love to play games together from board games to computer games. As they are only 18 months apart, we are fortunate that it is quite easy to find a game they can both play and enjoy. BrainBox has kindly given us My First Pictures to do a review. It is suitable for four years and above which is just the right age group for both of my children. Ms C just turned four last week. It is for one or more players.

BrainBox My First Pictures is the youngest of the range helping children recognise objects and names of items from household, holiday and everyday scenes. The object of the game is to study a card for 10 seconds and then answer a question based on the roll of a dice. If the question is answered correctly, the card is kept and the person with the most number of cards after 5 or 10 minutes is the winner. This simple concept can be played by all ages and in large groups as well as a 1 person game.
