Here’s something that might make for a great last minute stocking filler – Dinohistoria, a different, fun and entertaining, educational card game for all the family.
Dinohistoria has 56 playing cards, each with an illustration licensed by the Picture Library of the Natural History Museum, London featuring over 30 different dinosaurs. Many of them are familiar, such as Tyrannosaurus rex, Allosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Iguanodon, Triceratops and Pteranodon, but there are over 20 other animals too, including Smilodon (Sabre-toothed Tiger) and Mammuthus primigenius (Woolly mammoth), with facts about them.
Although it’s aimed at kids of 7+ the publishers, Educational Learning, have have added rules for additional games to the company’s website, www.educationallearning.co.uk, so younger children from 5+ can play.
Also on sale is the Wildcat game, featuring photographs of wild cats from around the world.
