I bought this for our grandkids when they visit. I guess I didn’t read the description very well because I was surprised- pleasantly so- to find the object of the game not the traditional idea of matching pictures. Instead the real life photo of the animal is accurately named and designed to be matched with a corresponding figurine. The kids love it; they’re 2 and 3 years old! We started playing with just a few at a time to learn their names. As they’ve become familiar with the animals, they enjoy simply playing with the figurines now. Note: the animals are rather small, 2” give or take. They worked well for our purposes.
