Toy Review : Roll and Play

This is one of the new Fall toys from Discovery Toys. I received my new product kit last week and have been getting the toys out one at a time and seeing how good they are. The picture above is my children after they've discovered this one. My son is 5, my daughter is 3. The toy is labelled for 18mos and up. It's great for all ages! The die is very soft (pillow soft) with bright primary colors. You can use it to start to teach colors, and kids will love how soft it is. The cards are in primary colors as well.

The game itself is to roll the die, pick the color card that matches the color you rolled, and do the action on the card. Examples of actions are "Clap your Hands", or "Hug Mommy". My kids thought it was funny to have to go brush their teeth.

You can also play with just the cards. There are duplicate pictures between colors, and you can play a card matching game with them. Turn all cards face down, flip one card up and try to match a second card.

Roll & Play retails for $16.99 - www.ashleystoys.com
