5 out of 5 stars Fantastic game

By Jennifer Jain

I was really pleased with this game, and my 3 year old son loved it. It has a simple premise - each player (of up to four players) has a shopping list with eight different items. Each of these 32 items is represented on a smaller card. The small cards are turned face down in the middle, and players take it in turns to turn over a card. If it is on their shopping list they add it to their trolley, if not they turn it back over and play passes to the next person.

The game involves matching the items to the shopping list, and also memory skills, as you can remember where other items from your list are if other players have previously turned them over. My son picked up the rules very quickly and was quite happy to play the game properly. He was absolutely delighted when he matched something from his list.

What I particularly liked about this game was how my son developed it. When he had filled up his trolley he drove it over to me so that I could 'scan' the items. Then he loaded them onto his truck, took them 'home', then he 'ate' them for lunch. I could see that he could amuse himself with the game even by himself, and there are lots of other games that you could play with the pieces. You could make up a number of variations on matching and memory games. It could be played as a single player game, or else two people could play with two shopping lists each. It also works really well for players of different ages and abilities.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for gifts!

By Sam Wyld

Someone bought this for my son on his third birthday and it's turned into one of the most played-with things he owns. Before he understood about playing games, he used to make his own rules and he learned what all the items were called. We now play it properly and he still loves it (just turned four)... and the added bonus is, he loves to help put the REAL food shopping away!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful

By Colette

I got this game a few weeks ago for my son and he loves it so much that it MUST be played every day at least four times so he can use all the lists. I'll will be looking for more of these games and jigsaws in the future. Keep up the great work!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent game for Toddlers

By Tracy Painting

I bought this when my son was 3 and daughter had just turned 2, they both picked up the game easily and really enjoyed it. Not only does it teach memory skills but has also taught them how to take turns during game play and learning the names of various foods and products.

5 out of 5 stars Loads of fun!

By Kevin W.

Orchard Toys has delivered, yet again a wonderful game with Shopping List. My daughter was really excited to play Shopping List and it was an immediate hit. The age range is 3-7 years old and encourages observation and memory skills as well as develops personal and social skills.

My daughter LOVES this game. It's such a simple idea, but it seems to be fun again and again. The illustrations are lovely too.

So pleased to see we can now even get extra pieces in an expansion pack!!
