My First Memory® - Favourite Things (ML)

A cuddly teddy bear, a little train, a curious kitten, or a yellow airplane: My First Memory Favourite Things brings together the everyday objects toddlers love to spot. This memory game reimagines the classic matching game for children as young as 2, with cards twice the usual size and much thicker than normal, easy to hold and flip without tearing. The rules stay wonderfully simple: the 24 cards are spread face down, and each player flips two in turn, hoping to reveal a matching pair. Whoever remembers the pictures and their positions best collects the most pairs, until every card has been found. The bright, easy-to-recognize illustrations invite kids to name the objects and build little stories around them, a lovely way to ease into board games as a family.

You will enjoy My First Memory Favourite Things if you are looking for the very first board game to give a 2 or 3 year old. Rounds last just 10 to 15 minutes, matching a toddler's attention span perfectly, and the sturdy oversized cards hold up well to little hands still learning to be gentle. It is also a great pick for grandparents or daycare educators who want to introduce a child to visual memory and taking turns, without any unnecessary complexity.

The memory-matching game traces back to 1959, when the very first game of its kind was launched and quickly became an essential classic around the world. More than sixty years later, it remains one of the very first board games families choose to introduce toddlers to simple rules and the joy of playing together.

This game carries the design credit of William H. Hurter, who came up with the matching-card concept after seeing the cut-out picture cards his own father made for his grandchildren. This Favourite Things edition takes that timeless idea and adapts it specifically for toddlers, with bigger, sturdier cards.
