Orchard Toys - Magic Maths

Magic Maths is an exciting and spellbinding mathematics game designed for children. Players take turns solving sums and collecting hilariously yucky spell ingredients, from worm-infested cupcakes to brains and bogies! Once they have worked out the answer, the real magic happens - rubbing the heat-sensitive patch on the card reveals if the answer is correct, adding an element of excitement and mystery.

This ensures a well-rounded learning experience that is both engaging and educational. The combination of hands-on interaction and competitive gameplay makes learning fun while reinforcing essential numeracy skills. The colourful wizard characters and imaginative theme make this game a favourite among children, educators and parents alike.
