Cute and cuddly
Three fun games in one! In the first section, match the picture of the baby to its mother. In some cases, when the baby closely resembles the mother, this is easy. However, there are several babies included which look quite different from their mothers (for example, a caterpillar and butterfly). In the second section, children are asked to remember and select the correct name of each baby. The third section gives additional information about each baby in the game. This section requires reading skills.
