We have a 2 1/2 year old and 5 1/2 year old and this has become part of our bedtime routine a few times a week (we play as a family on the bedroom floor before books) and the kids really look forward to it. We had the original Memory game and lost it somehow, so I choose this one to replace it and love it even more. The cards are VERY sturdy, the pictures are simple yet colorful, and the colored backgrounds behind each picture make them easier for kids to differentiate. (I think the other one just had a white background for every picture). It's teaching the kids to share, take turns, be patient and all that good stuff, but what I love best is that even my 2 1/2 year old understands it and enjoys playing. It has a lot less cards than the other Memory game, so I was concerned before it arrived that it might not be enough, but it's really the perfect amount. I think my kids love playing this one now because it still feels like a lot of cards but now they dont get frustrated with not being able to find matches because of too many choices (and I dont have to sort through ahead of time and pick out 20 matched sets to make a smaller game!).

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.

I ordered this game for my 19 months old daughter as I wanted to introduce her to a matching game. We are 'playing' with the cards facing up instead of down. The quality of the game is very good, the pieces are thick enough that she's not bending them and we'll be able to use this game for a long time. The illustrations are simple and clear so she can easily recognize what they are. Great for learning new words.

There are many types of matching games, and some of the cheaper ones can be had for $5 on sale. Those other ones are flimsy and will have limited use.

THIS GAME IS EXTREMELY WELL MADE AND DURABLE. eeBoo makes tremendous products, and this one is no exception.

If you are in the market for a matching game for your young one or classroom, buy an eeBoo one, they have a few different themes to pick from, and you can't go wrong.

My 2.5 yo son really enjoys this game, and I'm super pleased with the quality. The images are colorful but classic, and the cards are very thick and sturdy. He's still too young to play this as the full memory game, but sometimes I get out 3 pairs and he can play that way. He loves to just sift through the cards in the box naming the pictures and hunting for their matches. We have a big round of applause when a match is discovered! I can see that this game will grow with him, because aside from playing memory with the full set of cards, there's the opportunity for sorting activities-- find all the animals, find all the food, etc. Simple, classic, open-ended, quality materials, and good for many ages-- highly recommended!

We purchased this game for our 3-year-old daughter and she loves it. I was sure if she was ready to play in the traditional manner, so I modified the first game. We started out with a dozen cards face up so she could see where they were, and then turned them over to see if she could remember where the matches were. Much to our surprise, she matched all of them on the first try!

This is the classic game that I remember having as a child. Other reviews commented on how durable the cards were so I knew it was going to be a quality set, but I was quite surprised at how thick the cards really are.

If you are looking for a simple, fun and educational game for a toddler this is perfect. And you can't beat the price. Classic games like this stand the test of time for good reason.

The cards are very realistic in terms of the pictures. The cards can be sorted by category ie foods; clothing; toys etc. The memory component can be started with just six cards 2 yrs expanding to the entire set 4-5+. Parents can play the game making it famil oriented!

The cards are thick and colorful and my 5 year old niece loved playing what she calls "matches" with us on Christmas.

I was very pleased with how thick and durable the pieces are in this game. The box is also big enough to use as proper storage without having to try to cram the pieces back in it. My 2 year 10 month old son likes to play with it with all the pieces picture-side up and finding the matches. In a few more months we'll try to play properly.

This game is used in our class room. The cards are beautiful and thick, very durable. The colors are attractive and natural. I would recommend this game 100%. Children love to match pictures, play memory or use it as a language activity and describe the pictures.
