The five pegboards are shaped like a butterfly, car, flower, mouse and seahorse.

Highly recommended by Mumsnet parents, Dobble is similar to Snap. It's a game of speed, observation and reflexes to see who can find the matching symbol between two cards. Sounds simple, right? But each card is different, and only one picture matches every other card, so it’s a race to see who can spot theirs first. While other card games may only have one or two choices of games to play, Dobble has five, so your child won’t get bored easily.My daughter is five and really likes Hama Beads.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Volcanoexplorer) Our verdict Age: 5 years+ | Batteries required: No | Educational objectives: Cognitive, problem-solving and communication skills What we like
