Only a couple of thousands of these are used by most people. Memory games are a fantastic way for kids to develop important skills and have heaps of fun along the way! Parents have the choice between two play modes designed to cater to the different needs of toddlers and preschool children. In ‘Baby Mode’, the cards stay upturned throughout the entire game. Players only need to match the same objects, after which the object’s name will be spelled out and read aloud. ‘Normal Mode’ works like any ordinary memory game, but with added features to help and to guide. Both modes allow you to choose between multiple levels - from easy-peasy 2X2 small board all the way up to 7X4 giant board on iPad! Saved scores means no efforts are ever wasted and motivates players to beat their personal best. Tip for the parents: You can limit the amount of time cards are displayed at the beginning of each game in the settings menu. -------------- Connect with us!
