'snap'; visual matching of pairs; other visual memory games where a small number of cards are seen and then removed from view and the child must recall them; the cards they can also be used for categorising activities - 'animals with two legs', 'animals that live in water', 'animals that are furry', 'animals that spend most of their time in trees', etc.).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue to the product's lightweight and compact nature, this would be a perfect educational travel toy!\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"A2Z Montessori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627965333757,"sku":"ETE4057","price":17.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.montessoriathome.com.au\/products\/memory-game-australian-animals","provider":"Montessori At Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
