We often find that while travelling in the car, our children get bored and I often run out of questions to ask or find myself repeating the same timetables again. So I am always on a look out for products that offer a simple and quick way to challenge their little brain in an effort to relieve boredom and keep them awake!

Recently, I came across Brain Factor which they have a range of question cards or ‘fans’ that are suitable from ages 3 to 6. Currently, they have four fans on the market. The fans for ages 3-4, 4-5 and 5-6 are more picture based with questions featuring number and pattern games, letter and blended sound recognition, shapes, mixed up stories, rhyming words and more. The 6-7 fan is more text based, though it still has fun graphics. The questions are divided into five main subject areas – wonderful words, nifty numbers, vivid vocabulary, our world and general knowledge.
