I am a big fan of nicely made children's toys, and this is surely one of them! The pieces are all wooden with colorful animals on them, and they store neatly in a cloth carry sack when it's time to put them away. We bought this game for my 2, almost 3 year old son for Christmas and just got it out today. I had my doubts that he'd be ready for it, but 7 rounds later, I have no doubts left. He caught on during the first game and wanted to keep playing. To be able to play, it is helpful if your child has had practice counting (to aid them in choosing their 5 initial game pieces), and also if they've had some practice with matching (as they will need to be able to look at their pieces to see if any of them match either of the 2 animals currently in play). I would say this is definitely a floor game as the pieces are quite large; I think the growing line of dominoes would quickly become too long for table play. I didn't measure the pieces, but they are each probably about 4-5" tall by 2.5" wide. I think this game will get lots of use at our house and will be a good intro into the real game of dominoes in another few years. Heirloom quality. Great work, Plan Toys! :)

Grandson loved the noise the wooden dominoes made on the tile floor when he knocked down the line Grandpa had set up. This activity occupied them on and off for the two day visit over the New Year. He can name most of the animals pictured but wasn't ready to play the matching game. They also are great to load into the over-sized dump truck. Maybe this summer he'll be ready for the draw and match game.

Another beautiful product from Plan toys. Good craftsmanship, fun and bright animal faces, my three year old daughter loves playing with this and has quickly learnt the gist of the game. She can spend a good 20 minutes just lining them up in a long "track" or sorting them. Great little canvas sack for storage too. Expensive , but I know it will last for years of fun.

This is a great toy and a wonderful company to buy from. Plan toys uses natural materials and non-toxic paints, perfect for small children. My two-year-old loves these dominoes. We play matching and grouping games, and she will learn the traditional domino game as she ages.

I bought this as a gift for our friend's little boy who just turned three. He is adorable to watch while playing this game! I wondered if it would be too simple for him, however, he's still in that young mode and wants to connect the animals in a straight line! He has room to grow and figure out how they branch off. The animals are cute and he enjoys them a great deal! They actually allow for conversation because he's very interested in talking about the different animals. I really wanted to buy a set for my 4 month old to have around when he gets old enough!

I bought this for my 3 year old but he's still too young for it. He doesn't quite understand the concept of Dominoes but he does like looking at the pictures and likes to stack them and put them in the bag. I put them away and will try again when he's a little older. The blocks are beautiful though - well made and cute pictures. These dominoes would last forever. I love that they are eco-friendly and natural.
