Smart Games - Three Little Piggies Deluxe, Preschool Puzzle Game with 48 Challenges, Picture Story Book Included, 3 - 6 Years & Smart Games - Colour Code, Puzzle Game with 100 Challenges, 5+ Years

I've had my eye on this game for a while in my wishlist waiting for a price drop as no one we knew had a SmartGames product and I was hesitant in case it wasn't a good fit for my daughters, so I held out for a lightning deal and eventually it happened. I should've bought this, and other products, ages ago because this really is a brilliant game, excellently educational without children realising it and outstanding value for money as it has 48 levels of increasing difficulty in two different styles, a wordless storybook (promoting language skills in children to describe the pictures) and is fun to play.My 5 year old took to this like a duck to water, after being hand-held through the first level or so, she was flying through the solutions and excited to get it right. She mastered the big bad wolf levels first where the piggies have to be safe IN the houses- these I think are easier as the little pigs locations give away the location of the house, it's then a matter or logical trial and error as to rotating the pieces to fit. I can see this having value still for a while to come, it's not the type of game where you play once and you're done, even the act of remembering or memorising the placements is a valuable learning skill.The other game style is no wolf and the piggies must be playing outside, I think this is slightly more challenging as its not as obvious where the pieces will go as there is no initial 'clue' unless you have picked up recognition of pattern placement from mastering the wolf levels.Our 21 month old loves the small world aspect of this (she's desperate to play with the piggies) and watches her sister intently so she is absorbing the pattern and spatial skills of logical thinking too, but this is well beyond her skill set currently.Overall this has become a firm favourite in our house, and offers much play value, I'm next purchasing the Little Red Riding Hood for my 5 year old and the Bunny Boo for her little sister and Snow White is on the wishlist for Christmas already.

Great game for even 60 years olds

I did doubt buyilng this as almost £20 for a toddler game seemed a little pricy but I'm so glad I did!The game pieces are a nice touch silicone and feel lovely and tactile. The board and prices are hard plastic and feel fairly durable. They box will be great to store it all away in and it even comes with a 3 little pigs story book that is pictures only so that children can tell the story in their own words.I can see us being able to get hours of fun from this and it will definitely build problem solving skills, creativity and communication when played with an adult.I would recommend this game!

This one-person game is very quick and easy to set up and the rules are simple so that even young children can quickly get started. It offers a different type of challenge requiring logic and spatial awareness rather than counting, matching, memorising etc. Although it's a bit expensive, having seen my 4yr old grandson's response, I have bought another one for my 3 yr old granddaughter - praise indeed.

My 3 years old loves itMultiple combinations to place pigs and houses.Nice and sturdyThere is also a picture book included

Lovely game for small children to develop their problem solving skills.Well made and cute piggies and wolf.I would have liked the piggies to sit a little tighter in their places to prevent them being accidentally knocked out.

Item arrived on time. My girl loves this game and she also plays with the figures. Her favourite one is the wolf as it is not scary at all ;) very good quality however a little too expensive. I also bought another two as a gift for my friends kids. I recommend it as the game can be played but younger and older kids.

Good game, however it can be quite easy for young children, even though the package suggests it's for 3 to 6 years old. My daughter is almost 5, after a few days she is already moving on to another game from Smart Games series. Her sister who is 2 and half, currently enjoy playing this game. I think this game is more for young children between 2 to 4 years old.

Super Spiel! Mal was anderes mit 2 verschiedenen spiel-möglichkeiten (tag und nacht) nach ein paar mal gemeinsam spielen, ausprobieren und erklären holt sich das kind (3,5 jahre) das spiel mittlerweile oft selber und beschäftigt sich damit.Werde sicher noch weitere Spiele der Serie kaufen!

Gioco consigliato dall’insegnante per sviluppare la logica. Robusto e ben fatto l’ho trovato utile e molto carino. Consigliato ( mio figlio ha 5 anni ma ci sono diversi livelli di difficoltà)

Si les gusta los tres cerditos, es un acierto. Apto para pequeños y no tan pequeños. Desarrollo de visión espacial. Puedes ir adaptando el juego según la edad de tu peque. La versión en inglés 33% más barata que en castellano.En Youtube puedes ver cómo jugar (las instrucciones son muy sencillas y las guías para el juego no necesitan texto)

Superb quality and well explained.

A beautifully made game, favourited by my kids and highly appreciated by me for the many evident benefits.The game helps to develop fine and gross motor skills, improve eye-hand coordination, logical thinking, adjust to rules-following, learn independent activity, master the problem-solving skills and self-direction ability. And the list is not full.My kids have a nice collection of Smart Games and I have only the good things to says about them.How to play:Step 1 - Place the pigs only (Day levels) or the pigs and wolf (Night levels) on the game board according to the selected challenge.Step 2 - Fit the houses (puzzle pieces) on the game board so that the pigs play outside the houses when there is no wolf and inside the houses when the wolf is around.There is only one solution.The quality of the materials is top-notch.The game is accompanied by an illustrated "Three Little Piggies" book and was released in English and French versions. The French version is available on Amazon as well - "Les Trois Petits Cochons".Also, there is a very similar game fro Smart Games - "Little Red Riding Hood", also available in English and French.
