Enter the beautiful world of butteflies in this colourful matching game. The task is to match the upperwings and folded wings of 25 butterflies. Many butterflies have bright wings in flight, but when they perch their wings can be camoflaged to look like eyes, leaves, or even cobwebs. A pictorial guide with a mini dossier on each species is included.
Can also be used as a memory game when you get to know the butterflies.
With all kinds of stunning species – from the painted lady to the purple emperor – this fun and educational game is an ideal gift that will appeal to nature lovers everywhere.
Recommended for keen young naturalists and adults.

Berries, Bugs & Bullfrogs
FP Berries Bugs & Bullfrogs
Regular price $9.00For 1 to 12 Players. Recommended for Ages 4 to 7 years.
Four different cooperative tile games. Players form as many good Berry Patches as they can, with the help of the friendly Bullfrogs. The basic mathematical skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing all get a workout.
Six tiles have only Berries on them. Six have only Bugs. Eight have both Berries and Bugs. The Bug shown is a Slug, one of the few insects that damage Strawberries. Each of the 12 Bullfrogs can eat one bug.
In the Good Berry Patch Game, players form as many Good Berry Patches as they can that have more Berries than Bugs.
In the Bug-Free Berry Patch Game, each Bug will eat a Berry and only saved Berries count… with a Bonus for each totally Bug-Free Patch formed.
There are also two Mind-Reader Berry Patch Games, in which each tile is played silently with players trying to guess what tile the others are going to play. Lots of fun!
Includes: 20 tiles, 12 bullfrogs, rules for 4 games. © 2005
