Smart Farmer and Brain Train

Our grandson loves playing with train and animal toys.  It just so happens that SmartGames has just released two new games that he is sure to want.

Smart Farmer and Brain Train are both made for one player.  Smart Farmer for five years olds and up and Brain Train for three years old and up.

Thanks SmartGames you just scored some major points for grandpa!

What game doubles as toy?  Brain Train of course!

With Brain Train kids not only have fun but they develop their cognitive skills such as planning, visual perception, problem solving, flexible thinking and spatial insight. 

They play and learn at the same time!

Kids remove the three train cars and various geometric shapes from the game box.

Following the easy to understand instruction parents run through the game with their child.  Trust me, kids catch on real fast!

The game challenges (there are 48 challenges) children to match up the shapes as shown and place them in the right sequence.  Some pieces are attached to each other, some are not.

As children progress each level offers fewer hints to complete the train.  Make sure the engine and cars are connected and away you go!

Match the shapes and colors and before you know it the little train is chugging along.

The heavy plastic train engine, cars and shapes are rugged and child safe.  Small hands easily manipulate the train and pieces.

While children are not playing Brain Train they have a nifty new toy to play with!

Look for SmartGames at specialty toy stores, Amazon and the Smart Game website (https://www.smartgamesusa.com/).

What kid doesn’t like farm animals?  They are adorable, fun to look at and kids love to pet them and touch them.

Of course grownups know that there is more to farm animals than fun.  The animals tend to wander about, go places they shouldn’t go and can cause a mess if not supervised.

Sometimes supervision and taking care of things are not easy concepts for young kids to grasp.
With Smart Farmer kids not only get to play a game with cute little, rugged plastic farm animals and fences they also learn to keep the animals apart and develop all sorts of cognitive skills.

With 60 challenges one player can spend hours figuring out how best to move the animals to keep them apart.

Kids select a challenge from the enclosed pamphlet.  The selected field is divided into separate meadows using the fences.  

Horses, cows, pigs and sheep must be corralled into their own meadows and each meadow and later challenges must have a water trough for each meadow.

Sounds easy?  Don’t count on it.  You know how feisty farm animals can be!

All SmartGames come in heavy paper stock and colorful game boxes with easy to open lids.  Parts are securely packed and kids have no problem at all putting the game pieces and instructions in the boxes-there’s lots of room.
