Description
Turn over welly cards to find matching pairs of wellies for your monsters. The first player to fill their board wins!
There are two ways to play this colourful game, for both younger and more advanced players. This means children of all ages can play and enjoy the game together, either as a simple pairs matching or more complex memory game. The patterned welly cards can also be used to encourage children to identify the objects they can see on them.
Featuring an array of colourful character illustrations, the quirky monsters are bound to get children giggling! Why not ask your child to pick their favourite monster?

What our experts think
Smelly Wellies is a great game for encouraging shape and pattern recognition, counting and sorting into pairs. There was lots of discussion about what the monsters were wearing and what the children’s favourite monster was before the game began, which encouraged communication and sharing skills.
The game was colourful and bright and appealed to all the children, the game was also simple enough to let the children play without adult help once it was demonstrated, making it an ideal accessible game for teaching younger ones about turn-taking. We found Smelly Wellies more popular with our younger testers as the older ones thought it could be more challenging.
