Friday Favorite: Melissa and Doug Memory Game

Friday Favorites is another almost weekly feature here at Simply Living on a Budget. The whole point of this feature is to share some of my favorite finds. Anything is game. Food. Cleaning supplies. Kid stuff. Garden favorites. Recipes. Anything that I really like and want to randomly post about. Reminder/Disclaimer/Whatever: Everything in Friday Favorites is something that I use and bought on my own.

Up this week …

Melissa & Doug Travel Memory Game

Details …
These fabulous, travel-style games bring new fun and convenience to old family favorites with innovative flipping pieces that won’t get lost! Includes one game board, seven double-sided game cards and a two-player scoreboard. Ages 5+

Choose from among fourteen fun themes, slide a card into the gameboard, and start looking for matches. This handy memory game includes one game board, seven double-sided game cards and a two-player scoreboard. There are no loose pieces and everything conveniently stores in the board. Great for travel! Measures 11.7″ x 8.7″ x 1.2″.

My thoughts …
My kids saw these at Snip-Its, a kid’s hair cut place here in town. (We take Little Dude there since he has super fast growing hair … that is another post.) So I went on Amazon when I got home and looked these up. I ordered three. It is too much for Little Dude who isn’t even two yet but I knew he would be into it before too long. Sophie who is 3 loves this so I take the 5+ recommendation with a grain of salt. She does have a harder time switching the cards out but totally gets the “game”. Grace who is 4.5 thinks this is the best game ever. I got these for our trip this week because the girls can play in their seats on their own. No batteries. No noise. Well besides the “I got a match” screams which make me smile like a school kid! They don’t really play against each other but love playing on their own. I was a memory game junkie as a kid so I am thrilled to see my kids loving these.

If you have an upcoming trip or just needs some piece while on the road to town or while wait for a sibling some where, check they out. You can find them on Amazon HERE. (This is the best link on there as the other Amazon links have high shipping rates … something to keep in mind when shopping there!)
