Our other recently introduced game is Match and Spell Next Steps. We already have the previous game, Match and Spell, where you can spell the words using single letters. Next Steps includes word sounds and blends to develop reading and spelling skills. I doubt there are many parents who haven’t heard of Orchard Toys games. They are available in lots of different themes and cover most basic educational ideas. From shapes and colours to telling the time and making sentences, I love how diverse the games can be.This game is clearly aimed at older children, around 5+. Our eldest is 5 and a half and enjoys matching up the letters on the board to the game pieces, making different the words. He has definitely got more of a grasp of the different sounds words have through using Match and Spell Next Steps. We love all the Orchard Toys games and these are no different. Smelly Wellies is a much more fun and interesting game for younger children. But Match and Spell Next Steps can still keep primary school aged kids interested in reading and sounding out words. Perfect to play with their parents! Pin For Later Find matching pairs of smelly wellies for your monsters with this fun, educational game by Orchard Toys®! It's a simple, yet exciting game, of matching pairs that will have players (best for children aged 2-6 years) giggling along. The first player to fill their board wins! We are a care farm in Woodcote who offer animal assisted care sessions and are keen to focus on SEND children and adults and those who are struggling with emotional and mental health issues. I love that there are a range of different words to choose from. So we can just use shorter words for practice or make it more challenging and include longer words to spell out. Each letter card also has a picture so you can easily tell what the word says. When children become more confident the boards can be turned over to the blank side so that they can spell the word on their own. Our Verdict

There are two ways to play this colourful game, for both younger and more advanced players. This means children of all ages can play and enjoy the game together, either as a simple pairs matching or more complex memory game. The patterned welly cards can also be used to encourage children to identify the objects they can see on them. Both games are great for developing observational and memory skills. Plus they are fun to play! Match and Spell Next Steps
