For the past few weeks I’ve told you about a wide variety of gift ideas for this holiday season. We’ve had an alternative to the pricey American Girl dolls, 3D Books and simulated diamond stud earrings, to name a few. But I have to say, this next toy I am going to tell you about, I wish I had known about when my son and daughter were much younger…Marcel – A Game of Touch by Lilliputiens.
About the Game
Marcel – A Game of Touch is memory game, but it’s not like any other memory game you’ve played before. I’d be willing to bet on that! You can play the game a couple ways:
- Take all of the cards out of Marcel and turn them upside down on the carpet. One by one, turn over two cards to see if they match. If they don’t, turn the cards over and it’s the next persons turn. The person with the most matches is the winner!
- Place one set of the matched cards in Marcel and lay the other set face down on the carpet. One by one, turn over a card and take time to feel the material. When ready, reach inside Marcel and try to find the match just by touching. If you don’t make a match, take a puzzle piece out of the back pocket of Marcel. The object is to find all the matches before the puzzle gets put together. The game ends when all of the matched pieces are together (they all win together) or you have the puzzle put together (they all lose together).

My Thoughts
Well…I already told you that I wished I had known about this when my kids were little! I think that this game is fun for a variety of ages and I cannot wait until my nephew (he’s two) is here so my kids can play this game with him. If you are looking for something to give this holiday season, really consider Marcel – A Game of Touch!
