A first colour match lotto featuring cheerful characters children will love.
- A colour match lotto for young players
- Develops matching and memory skills
This first colour matching lotto game features fun and friendly illustrations of everyday characters and objects which children will recognise, from teddy bears to cars to bunnies. Played as a simple lotto game with each player having their own board, players are encouraged to match the bold coloured cards to the pictures on their board by both item and colour.
The game features a variety of colours for children to learn and match, including red, blue, purple, green, orange and yellow. When playing with younger and older children, encourage older children to read the words of the colours aloud as well as matching the cards by colour and shape for an extra challenge.

Unlock your child's communication potential with our
engaging toys featuring Aided Language Boards (ALBs).
What is an Aided Language Board?
An Aided Language Board is a visual communication tool that
helps children express themselves using symbols and pictures.
How to Use an Aided Language Board:
Simply place the board in front of your child whilst playing
with the toy and model the use of the board by pointing to symbols as you
speak, which helps your child learn how to use it effectively.
Benefits of Using an Aided Language Board:
Enhanced Communication: Supports children in
expressing themselves.
Language Development: Supports your child’s language
development, with different boards for Analytic Language Processors (ALPs) and
Gestalt Language Processors (GLPs).
Increased Independence: Empowers children to
communicate their thoughts more independently.
Social Interaction: Facilitates interactions with
peers and adults, supporting relationships and connection.
Toys with Aided Language Boards are the perfect addition to any child's communication toolkit, making learning and interaction fun and effective.
Analytic Language Processors (ALP): Your child is likely an Analytic Language Processor if they started talking in single words (Mummy, milk, cat, Daddy etc.) and then put these together to form short phrases and sentences, for example their first word might be ‘milk’ and then later on they might say ‘more milk’. These children do not commonly use echolalia or start speaking in chunks of language. Our ALP boards are designed to support children who are learning language in this way, most neurotypical children are analytic language processors.
Gestalt Language Processors (GLP): Your child is likely a Gestalt Language Processor (GLP) if they started talking in chunks of language or use delayed echolalia (repeating lines from favourite tv shows, people, or other media). Our GLP boards are designed to support children primarily in Stages 1 and 2 of gestalt language development. Many Autistic and neurodivergent children are Gestalt Language Processors.

Does your child enjoy repetitive play and sequences? – GLP
Does your child enjoy watching and rewatching the same clips on YouTube? – GLP
