Some sort of pairing game, cards with 2 elephants, 3 tigers etc? Like snap. I used to work in nursery and part of my training was to make a game can't believe they're asking a small child to do that!!

How about a counting game where a monkey is walking through the jungle collecting bananas?

So on page one he has one, on page two he finds another etc...

My daughter has a book with that in and she NEVER puts it down.

"Now he has THREE banARnas mummy!" (she talks very posh, no clue where she gets that from!)

A snake has 0 legs
An elephant has 1 long trunk
A bird with 2 wings
A leopard with 3 spots
A giraffe has 4 long legs
etc etc.

They see the picture and have to say what the number is and count the items.
