Review: This was a huge hit for my three year-old’s birthday - We played the Pete the Cat Taco Game with my 3-year-old and it was an absolute hit! It’s super easy to learn and perfect for little hands. What I liked: • Simple rules: Even young kids can follow along, making it great for toddlers and preschoolers. • Colorful and engaging: The bright colors and fun taco theme kept my child excited to play again and again. • Encourages matching and memory skills: It’s a gentle challenge that helps build important early learning skills without any frustration. • Quick playtime: Games are short and sweet—perfect for little attention spans. Things to keep in mind: • It’s definitely best for kids under 6, older kids might find it too simple. • Some small parts, so supervision is needed for toddlers. Overall, Pete the Cat Taco Game is a delightful, educational game that’s perfect for introducing young kids to board games with a fun, musical twist!
Review: Kids LOVED this game! - OMG! The kids loved this game! It is so cute! You get to search for silly taco toppings to place in your taco shell (which is super hardy/sturdy I might add) by taking turns following over cards like in the game of Memory. It’s easier for younger kids to play but older kids in the clinic liked this one too because it can be more competitive and poses a real challenge when the Grump Toad card is flipped and now you have to remember where certain topping cards were! It’s a great game for multiple ages because the challenge of recalling where the cards were and strategy for trying to play offensively and defensively could be emphasized or not depending on the kids age playing the game. This one was a real winner. Great value for the price in our therapy clinic!
