I was excited to review these play items from Orchard Toys. The First Dino Friends twelve-piece puzzle and Tractor Tractor first matching game of which I played with one of my friend’s, two-year-old son. Both are in the new 2026 range.
Firstly, the Tractor Tractor matching game is pretty much the same as pairs but far more fun with little people. It did not take long for him to pick up the game of which kept us entertained for ages. I love that it is brightly coloured and a hard wipe safe casing, so safe and strong to protect from mucky and clumsy hands. As we are all fans of the local farm this made it easier to keep his attention. We enjoyed it so much that it did not take long for the older brother to join in.
The second was the dinosaur puzzle of which there are two twelve-piece puzzles along with two matching posters. Again, these were brightly coloured and easy to clean due to the thick and shiny exterior. This was also a clever choice as dinosaurs are a firm favourite with toddlers. Once we had made the puzzles, we then created a story and questions of what other things were in the puzzles so it doubled as a story time too. There are prompts on the back of the box if you do not feel particularly creative.
Orchard toys offer a vast range of interactive, fun, and learning experiences within their toys for ages ranging from Babies to eight-year-olds. I love how the company was first created, making blocks and stencils around a kitchen table in Norfolk for a local nursery. Fifty years later they are now established and a recognised leading manufacturer of educational games and puzzles both in the UK and globally. The range includes games, jigsaws, colouring books with collections that your children will love and recognise including Bluey and Peter Rabbit. There are also ranges of free, printable worksheets and activities that include numeracy and literacy to craft ideas, colouring sheets, and recipes.
One of the things I love about this brand is that whilst excellent quality they also have a great UK customer service team too of which you can contact by phone or email. They are also onboard with how frustrating it is to lose a piece of a puzzle or toy or instructions which renders the item to the bin. With Orchard Toys, you can contact them and they will do their best to find you a replacement and post it out to you for a minimal cost. They also have a five-star Feefo accreditation.
