This game was an instant favourite in our house, partly because my boys are crazy for dinosaurs, but also because it's easy and straight forward to play - no faffing around with complicated rules - yet till keeps their attention for a while. My boys are aged 3 and 7, so it is perfect for both ages. I particularly like that it has two levels of difficulty, so the boys can play together without one of them having an unfair advantage. This game encourages observational skills, and helps to develop matching and memory skills, all rounded off with the lovely illustrations we have come to expect from Orchard Toys.

Aimed at children aged 3-7, Dinosaur Lotto is a memory and matching game for two to four players.



We already have ‘Dinosaur Dominoes’; a matching game for 3-5 year olds and it is very popular with my dino-loving son, so I thought he would enjoy playing this too!



The box contains four boards, each made from two pieces which you slot together, and 24 small tiles as well as instructions.



Dinosaur Lotto is easy for children to get to grips with, even young ones. The pictures are bright and appealing and the cardboard is really thick and preschooler-proof.



It will however still be challenging for slightly older children as each board is double sided to make the game easier or harder depending on the age of the player.



Dinosaur Lotto is a really simple but good game for young children.



It’s a fun little game, it doesn’t last too long but it encourages turn taking and rule following; something my two have never been the best at!

Dinosaur Lotto is a simple fun dinosaur themed matching and memory game which my daughter loves. It’s suitable for ages 3-7 and has two ways to play. You get 4 double-sided jigged boards, 24 item cards and an instructions sheet with the game. It really is a lovely game which players will grasp quickly and the aim is to take it in turns to turn over the colourful dinosaur cards and be the first to fill their dinosaur board with matching pictures.



As well as being a great game it’s also a brilliant way for children to find and identify dinosaurs as there’s a wide variety of characters to spot and discuss. Not forgetting how colourful this game is as well which will help reinforce recognition for the younger players. My daughter is quite good at her colours but sometimes gets them mixed up. This game has been perfect for swatting up on her skills especially when I ask her to look for the green dinosaur or the purple dinosaur etc.



Highly recommend as it's easy to play and perfect for dino mad kids.
