Who started the rumor that turtles are slow? Whoever it was obviously never saw them attending a picnic. And with the Turtle Picnic game from Fisher-Price, youngsters ages 3 to 7 can get in on the fast-moving fun. The equipment in this game of matching "colorful snacks to the turtles' backs" includes four cute, plastic flip-top turtles, each with a different color hidden under its back.
Players take turns revealing the colored snacks (carrots, grapes and bananas) on the underside of the 18 Lily Pad cards, and trying to match a color to a turtle. It's a wonderfully clever marine twist on the traditional Memory card game--all the more so when certain Lily Pads allow players to messily rearrange the plastic turtles to foil other players who've memorized which color is where.
There are also rules for a cool, more advanced game wherein players must match two colored Lily Pads before trying to match a tortoise.
2 levels of play. Ages 3-7.
Includes 4 turtles and 18 lily pads
