Sevi Memory Game

Memory Games have always been a popular choice for little ones but world renowned Italian toy manufacturer Sevi has cleverly elevated the standard memory game to a higher level.





- A 10" game board (basically shaped like a giant flower press)
This eliminates the need for a large amount of space (unlike conventional card memory games where cards are clumsily scattered on the floor) as well as making it unnecessary for children to maneouvre around and reach for cards that are far away from their limited arm span

- Six interchangeable printed sheets that each have 10 memory picture pairs so that a different form of memory can be played with each game
The six sheets are designed with varying degrees of difficulty (sheets with a variety of different objects, sheets where the objects are the same but are on different coloured backgrounds to sheets with the same objects that are both coloured differently and are on different coloured backgrounds) making this memory game challenging for many years of play.
As an added bonus, individual sheets can be rotated to any of four orientations, so there is really no memorizing of where items are in relation to one another (except of course if your child is a savant!)


- The construction of the game board itself in readiness for play provides some valuable manipulative skills practice (putting the cover plate and selected sheet on the red pegs before concealing object positions with the daisy pegs)

- Rather than keeping cards when a match is successfully made, you keep the cute daisy pegs instead!

This delightful Memory Game is compelling enough that children will love playing it by themselves or against any challengers.

Whilst it tests the cognitive abilities of a child, like any standard memory game, this unique version of an old time favourite will also help children learn about colours, figures, structures and quantities.

Beautifully handcrafted and hand painted in stunningly vibrant colours (with non-toxic paints of course!) this is an heirloom quality toy that is sure to appeal.  Sturdily made with high quality solid wood (Sevi's 180 year old reputation relies on it!), its innovative design is sure to impress even the most discerning parents and little ones.


A wonderful gift for anyone looking for something that is just that little bit different and just that bit special!
