This game is great for children aged 4 to 7 (the recommended age is printed on the box and it about right). It not only teaches them colours and matching but also the principles of game playing, allowing others to take their turns. It is purely a game of chance and depends on the dice roll and choice of cards. You can't see what's on each card as it's face down with just a coloured dot on the back which matches the dice. They will need to play the game with an adult for the first few times at least as the instructions are quite complicated (I had to read them 3 times before they made sense) but they are nicely laid out on the instruction sheet in English, with the other languages printed smaller on the back of the sheet.

Orchard Toys make some really good educational games for young children and this is one of them.'Giraffe With Scarves' is a fun and relatively quick game (useful if your child has a short attention span) which if played regularly will improve your child's counting and matching skills. A great game for taking on holiday.This game is suitable for children aged four to seven (although my three year old granddaughter managed to play this game with a little adult help). It is suggested that from two to six players can play although it works better if you have three players or over.The box contains ...6 x giraffe heads6 x giraffe bodies24 x neck cards (some with scarves and some without)1 x dice with coloured spotsGame play is as follows ...1.

I bought this to play with my 3 year old nephew and it's been a massive hit. It doesn't take long to set up and has been known to keep him occupied for well over an hour (which is virtually unheard of!). It's great that it doesn't need any skill to play, so everyone has an equal chance of being the winner. Little ones can find it so frustrating to play games when they have almost no chance of winning. I think knowing he can win is one of the reasons my nephew is happy to play this over and over and over again. The rules are simple enough to follow, although we have made some of our own up too. It's usually just the two of us playing,

This is a game of chance - essentially you draw cards at random using a spinner, add them to your launch pad and at the end the person with the most loops in their rocket trail wins. The pieces are good quality and our space-mad three year old wants to play this a lot.However, there is a silly rule that if you draw the rocket of your colour after the first round, then you go out. This obviously doesn't make for a very good game for such young children who are still getting used to the concept of games and for a game of chance, going out randomly just seems daft. So we just put the rockets aside when we draw them and put them on at the end.

We’ve tried quite a few Orchard Toys games in the past and they’re very reliable, you know what you’re going to get with each one- sturdy cards with bold colours and slightly silly cartoon drawings that pitch some relatively basic games, with a subtle learning element but not much, into a bit of fun. This game is more of the same from a trustworthy brand.The giraffe game in particular is unusual, I don’t remember playing a game exactly like this before- but it’s also rather simple and doesn’t afford a lot of variety in gameplay. It’s entirely luck-based, unlike some of their other games which have a memory or skill element, so beyond learning which colours are which (which many four-year-olds will already know),

This is a simple and well made, educational game for 2 to 6 players. Whilst the age range specifies 4-7 years, able 3 year olds (under supervision) will also enjoy colour recognition, matching and counting.Made with glossy, colourful, hard-wearing thick card that is attractively illustrated, this is learning made fun. The aim of the game is to see whose giraffe has the most scarves round their necks. Taking it in turns to throw a colour dice, the player must then match the colour on the dice to a card. Turning the card over, you may win 3 scarves with a throw of the dice or none at all (and you can include the heads to be turned over, as a variation on the game or separate these out until the end).

We love the Orchard Toys games in this house, they are inventive, colourful and full of interesting characters and Giraffes in Scarves is no exception.As with all Orchard Toys the game itself is made of thick sturdy cardboard pieces and it is worth noting that should you lose one of these you can contact the company for a replacement - a feature which we have made use of with previous games.This game is a great introduction for kids to start planing dice games and incorporate counting into their playing. For us an important feature is that the game itself doesn't last long which is great as our kids tend to lose focus fairly swiftly.

We love orchard toys in this household, so were very excited to receive a new one! Although it took a couple of days to arrive, it certainly didn't disappoint.It's nice to have a new game that involves colours on a dice rather than numbers.The instructions leaflet has been improved, in particular with a quick set up reference section which was very useful when my excited toddler was so keen to play at point of opening! Some of the parts of the rules were quite complex, but with careful reading of the instructions it soon all became very clear and easy to get the hang of. It was nice that even once your own individual giraffe was complete,

This is a great game, even the adult can somewhat enjoy instead of wanting it to end as soon as possible.There are many aspects of the game that your child can begin to understand the more you play. From the element of chance, to the counting of scarfs. My 3 year old is not quite ready for the disappointment of finding the giraffe’s head too early ?Its fun! Look at how long the necks get! Its hilarious!Yes, another great product from this brand.Sometimes I have mixed feelings about the materials, they don’t last forever - but at least you can just recycle it (or give it away) instead of adding more horrid plastic to the system. ?

Our boys love this game. The eldest is six and the younger is four. It is a very well made (as Orchard games always are) game of chance that they seem capable of playing endlessly with out boredom. The basic learning and repetition of colour matching and counting works really well. Obviously, the four year old needed a bit of support but the six year old after being shown a few times got pretty good at playing the boss. It reminded us of the build a beetle game which is also loads of fun. Good simple fun to be had with this great game.

We have Shoppping List, which is made by the same company and our daughter loves it. She also loves this! It’s easy enough to understand and get the hang of and she needed only one explanation and a few turns at playing and she was hooked. She’s not really into winning or losing yet and just enjoys making the giraffes’ necks longer and longer and counting the scarves. This game is great for helping children understand the concept of using a dice and taking turns and for improving counting. It’s going to be played loads in our house!

Orchard Toys Giraffes in Scarves Game is a sure game of fun which our younger children, as well as their cousins, loved playing. The game was straightforward as it was a simple case of finding as many scarves for your giraffe. It involves a dice which has spots of colour on it, different cards which have pictures of giraffes as well as scarves.It was easy to learn and well explained, a game which learns numbers and colours to our youngest is a great game and I know I will be looking out for more from The Orchard Label.

It's nice to see a game for the family that involves cards and dice. In this electronic age, I think it is good to have something tangible that can be played in a group. This is a counting and colour matching game, based on adding scarves to the neck of your giraffe, thereby counting the scarves, and matching the colours. Suitable for children from age four, it is something to have tucked away for a rainy play-day, or when the batteries run out on something.It is also in a nice small box, so very easy to store.

Our three-and-a-half year old boy loves his Orchard Toys games and we can five-star recommend the Cupcake and Monster Catcher Games, which have been constant playtime favourites for well over a year. He likes this one too, but not quite so much. It's really well made and lovely to look at, as usual, but is a bit more complicated and it's possible effectively to go 'out' of the game quite early on. This does not go down well with our pre-schooler. Of course, when he's winning, he likes it better!

This is one of those rare games that is fun, educational, very easy to play and engaging for young children. You simply pick a giraffe body and then you roll a dice which colour scarfs you need to collect. You then roll the dice collecting as many scarfs as you can before you find the "Collect" card, which stops the game. The format teaches colours, numbers and how to play dice games. It is simple fun that anyone can play. I am happy to RECOMMEND this game for anyone with young children.
