Orchard Toys - Farmyard Heads & Tails

Farmyard Heads & Tails is a fun and engaging matching activity designed to grow with children as they develop new skills. Perfect for little ones aged 18 months and up, this farmyard-themed game can be played as a simple matching activity or a more advanced memory game. Start by turning all the cards picture-side up and match the head and tail parts of the friendly farm animals. For added challenge, flip the cards over to play a matching and memory game as children grow in confidence.

This colourful game encourages observational skills, memory, and turn-taking while introducing young children to farm animals and objects. With large, chunky cards that are easy for little hands to hold, Farmyard Heads & Tails is a great way to support early development. The game also provides a fun opportunity to practice counting as children tally up their matching pairs at the end.
