Half Term Frugal Fun & Orchard Toys Old Macdonald Lotto

It has been a very full on 7 weeks for Kieran (and Mummy!). 7 whole weeks of fulltime school for the first time. He has loved it but as with most of his class – is now exhausted and ready for this half term! True to form the weather is shocking so we have been looking for entertaining but not too expensive activities and fun to keep us occupied! (Sorry but I just don’t DO soft play during half-term, pregnancy or um during any lucid moments!).

Orchard Toys – Old Macdonald Lotto

When this arrived I was over the moon! We love Orchard Toys and are yet to find a jigsaw or game that hasn’t provided hours of family fun with the additional bonus of being educational.

This game is a fun farmyard lotto game aimed at younger players (ages 2-6years) and encourages memory skills and observation. It also encourages multiple versions of “Old Macdonald Had A Farm” in various different keys and hilarious animal noises and impressions (in fairness Daddy’s cow impression is yet unbeaten in the Cawood house for pure hilarity!!).

As a Mum what I appreciate is the sturdy box, well made pieces (I hate games with flimsy pieces!) and how attractive the game is colour and picture wise. The bold colours and design is engaging and keeps Kieran’s interest. I’m also impressed with the lack of plastic packaging. Nothing annoys me more than ripping through loads of plastic that is completely unnecessary and wasteful!

Fab family fun you can stay in your PJ’s for!

We have spent hours playing both traditionally (via the easy to read instructions) and our own ridiculous versions and have had lots of fun! A top product that I wouldn’t hesitate to buy for our family or for someone as a gift.

Old Macdonald is available to purchase direct for £9.00 – where you can view the rest of the range. There really is something for everyone.

Thanks OT for giving up the opportunity to test this!
