Santa gave this game to my 2 year old daughter this year. The illustrations of common and unusual plants and animals are beautiful. The cards are very sturdy- we returned the Dora memory game as soon as we opened it. Those cards were flimsy cardboard that you had to tear apart- cheap! She plays this game for about an hour each day. She's learned almost all of the names. We turn about 4 pair of cards over and she is learning to find the matches. She is SO proud when she does. Definitely a good game for under 5 years too. This will be one of my staple gifts for the other kids in our lives.

As usual, Eeboo does a wonderful job with this game. The pictures are fantastic - a work of art. The pieces are thick and durable. It's appealing and inviting. We also have the Hasbro "Original Memory Game," which has SEVENTY tiny cards with treacly, goofy cartoons on them, and I find it incredibly annoying. The Life on Earth memory game is light years better - creative, artistic, thicker pieces, just much nicer overall. Worth a few dollars more.

This is a beautiful memory game. The cards are very good quality with beautiful artwork. You will be amazed at the sturdiness of the cards and the wonderful quality! I recommend it over any others I've seen.

My six year old daughter got this game for Christmas and LOVES it - and so do I! Sure, you can find memory games for a lot cheaper, but none as beautiful as this one. The pictures on each are cheeful, colorful and quite wonderful! What I also like about the pictures on this game vs. some others that can be bought at any toy store is that each picture is distictive. We've had games in the past in which some of the pictures were so simular to each other that you had to really check out the picture to see if it really matched the other. It was frustrating to the kids and to the parents. I would higly recommend this game to any preschool-age child on up. It was challenging even for us adults as well and a lot of fun! Not only does it sharpen the brains of the child, but for the adults as well.

This is the coolest memory game to date! We got this for Christmas from my awesome, avant garde, hip sister-in-law. And we have played and enjoyed it every day since!

My 2-year-old, who will be 3 in February, can easily master this game and whoop Mom or Dad's hiney. What I love are the illustrations. They are beautiful, and they also teach a whole new set of animals (i.e. lemurs, iguanas, fish swimming in coral, etc.)

I highly recommend. Cards are very sturdy with visually appealing and distracting (which is good in a game like this) stripes on the opposing side. I absolutely recommend. But a 2 1/2 year old - 3 year old can easily master...

This version of Memory is just awesome. It's great for a 3-year-old to just match up different animals, flowers, etc. And then great for continued development with playing Memory. There are a lot of unique pictures as well, which makes it fun for kids and adults.

I love this game. I've played it with kindergarteners to eighth graders. They can even play together because reading isn't required, and anyone can win. AND - it strengthens visual memory. Great!

This classic game has been issued hundreds of times and by so many toy manufacturers before. But this company has been making them with exceptional quality. Each square is made of brick thick sturdy board. No sharp edges and cut very uniform. I usually don't care much about this kind of toys - I mean, if they lose pieces or damage, like a throw away or garage sale item for next year. But the way it was made, it makes me want to take care of it more or pass it on to someone else.

Our daughter, now 5, has enjoyed this game for more than a year. When she was 4, we used only 7 or 8 pairs, but now we use them all, and she beats us every time. Beautiful construction, like all Eeboo products, and the artwork is gorgeous. Highly recommend.

"Life on Earth" matching game consists of 24 pairs of tiles made from 90% recycled gray board and soy based inks. I took off one star because it was made in China. The tiles are glossy, thick, high quality and ~2.25"x2.25" in size. The illustrations are beautiful and slightly whimsical. You will not find the typical (read: boring) apples, puppies and elephants here. Instead you will enjoy a lemur, luna moth, coral fish, lemons, thistles and a cactus. This toy was purchased for my daughter who just turned 2. We play with all the pictures facing up and she has a grand time finding the pairs. The drawings are engaging and keep her interest. I fully expect this toy to last a few years, until she is old enough to play it as a proper memory game. As a previous reviewer noted, this game would make a wonderful present and I will be purchasing additional sets to give away as gifts.
