Orchard toys are very popular in our house. We already had some in our toy cupboard and then Hudson got some more from Father Christmas.
To be honest, I have a love/ hate relationship with them. What I love is that they are actually quite enjoyable to play with the boys plus they are more often than not educational too.
What I hate is that they are often (well the ones we have anyway) are made up of loads of pieces. I am forever picking them up from under tables, emptying them from pockets, or saving them from disappearing behind cupboards!
I know we have our favourites but recently I asked in the Northamptonshire Mums and Kids Facebook group what other kids’ favourites are and thought I would list them all in this post.
here are the top Orchard Toys games as chosen by Northamptonshire Mums…
Dinosaur Dominoes.
So I have started with our own favourite. This is such a good game that recently my Sister and I found ourselves playing just the two of us after the kids and gone off to do something else!
Suitable for ages 3 – 5
Dirty Dinos
This is a fun colour, counting and observation game with three ways to play!

Oh wow what a fab range of toys you got there. I remember the shopping game as my son played it at nursery quite often, and they have a great educational range don’t they?!
Yes they do, you can find a game for almost anything! x
Thank you for this – I was really struggling on what to get my niece but this has helped give me some ideas, I think she’d love the Loopy Llamas game!
Yes these are perfect for gifts! x
Great ideas for games to have at home for when my Nephew visits (whenever that may be!) Reviews are much appreciated, thank you.
Yes, these are great for if you just have visits from little ones as they are small enough to tuck away in a cupboard x
I’m a teacher and LOVE these genes. My favourite is shopping list! Such great quality.
Yeah shopping list is a fab one! x
I’m a huge fan of Orchard Toys for my daughter also. I envisage we will be investigating in many more over the years. I also love their huge selection of printouts available on their website – they have been excellent during lockdown.
Yes I agree, they have been super helpful with the handouts! x
My children used to love the matching games. Orchard Toys have a really great selection for younger children.
Yes, the matching games are great 🙂 x
Aww I used to love the Orchard toys, I agree with you though about the bits! ?They look like good sets though. ?

Their toys are great we have quite a few of these already. The letter one is perfect for learning their words.
Yes, it’s fab for that! x
These look very helpful for home learning. I’ll remember this tip as my child grows older.
