My 6 year old really loved this simple activity and it was wonderful for practising her fine motor skills too! Watching the look of concentration as she carefully aligned each card was priceless!

Once we were finished she naturally wanted to destroy the castle lol! We then packed the cards back into their case for use on another day! I’m going to keep them in my handbag for her to use next time we are waiting for an appointment – such a convenient and compact little building set!
