Celebrating 50 Years Of Learning Made Fun With Orchard Toys!
Orchard Toys are celebrating 50 years of learning made fun and is it any wonder they have had SUCH longevity when they make games that children remember even when they’re much older and don’t really play them anymore. Having had two older ones and then a gap before two little ones, my big kids get to relive their favourite programmes (who doesn’t love playing the game of what you used to love when little on children’s TV) but I also find they get so much enjoyment from playing games with Raffie now that he’s big enough to really understand them.
We LOVE Orchard Toys and even better for us is that they are very local, just one village away from where we live the Orchard Toys HQ sits and so we feel like they are a little bit more of ours than the rest of the country. The games are superb fun but always with an educational level and though we are super lucky to have been gifted some recently (more on that further down), we also buy them for presents whenever there is a party and of course for Raffie. For his recent birthday we bought him a few to help with learning to read and write as well as memory type games, He loves them and it’s like a hidden veg dinner as he has so much fun playing that he doesn’t realise the good they do in his education to boot. Winner in my book don’t you think?!
So, 50 years of Orchard Toys and no wonder they’re just blooming more than ever before. Sturdy, good quality games that come in boxes which are easy to store. We are massive fans, how about you?
Take a look at a couple of the games Raffie has been playing recently alongside the many others he owns and plays regularly. These two are great for playing with Jimmy who makes like he’s doing it for his little brother but actually enjoys it himself!
The simple rules of each game often suggest different ways to play making them easier or harder depending on the age and capabilities of the child. We usually find we can make up a few more ways making the games really long lasting when it comes to development. Florence and Jimmy are enjoying playing the games with their little brother as much as I think they did themselves when they were little! The Orchard Toys range have a starting age range of 18m months and they have masses to choose from!
Orchard Toys, of course, have a Christmas range out too and I will speak about them soon I promise. We are so looking forward to playing with the Christmas Eve Box, a Christmas list game and 20 piece puzzle (perfect as an advent or Christmas Eve gift) and the Pigs In Blankets mini pairing game. How exciting!
Happy birthday Orchard Toys, we look forward to many more years of your brilliance!
We were gifted the games in this post.
