Farmyard Heads & Tails is a timeless classic to pass down the generations. This high-quality, accessible and colourful game will help children around the world learn through play for years to come.
Pairing Activity
- Children develop important cognitive skills by engaging in activities that involve matching and pairing.
- These tasks encourage them to observe and categorise characteristics based on colour, shape, and size.
Observational and Social Skills
- Prompt children to say the words aloud as they spot the different characters.
- Social skills are developed through turn-taking, sharing, and communicating the differences and similarities.
Large Pieces
- Hand-eye coordination is the ability to track the movement of the hands with the eyes.
- Our game has large, sturdy pieces for children to grip easily, promoting improved hand-eye coordination when matching the pairs.
Learning through Play
Children will instantly recognise and love the friendly animals featured in the Farmyard Heads & Tails game. Featuring a goat, mouse, dog, rooster, tractor, duck, sheep, horse, pig, cat, cow and even a farmer, little ones will brim over with excitement matching their farmyard friends’ heads and tails!
- Parents or teachers can quickly set up the matching activity for toddlers by laying the cards out face up and letting the children reunite the pairs.
- This game will grow with your child as their skills, confidence, and interests develop.
- Once your child has mastered the matching game, they can progress onto the more challenging memory game.
- To play the more advanced memory game, turn the cards picture side down and take turns revealing the images. Reveal a pair and leave them face up. Pick 2 cards that don’t match, turn them face down again, and the next player takes their turn.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Includes 24 chunky cards featuring 12 farmyard pairs and 1 instruction leaflet.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2024Style Name: Farmyard Heads and TailsVerified PurchaseI’m thrilled to give the Orchard Toys Farmyard Heads and Tails Game a glowing five-star rating! This game has been an absolute hit with my 2-year-old, providing hours of entertainment and learning.
The simplicity of the game is what makes it so perfect for young children. The colorful and sturdy cards featuring adorable farmyard animals are engaging and captivating for little ones. My child loves matching the animal heads to their corresponding tails, developing essential cognitive and matching skills in the process.
Additionally, the game encourages language development as we talk about each animal, their sounds, and where they live on the farm. It’s a fantastic educational tool disguised as a fun game, and I appreciate the thoughtful design and attention to detail by Orchard Toys.
The quality of the cards is excellent, with a durable construction that can withstand the rigors of toddler play. The illustrations are charming and well-executed, capturing the imagination of young children and sparking conversations about the farmyard world.
Overall, the Orchard Toys Farmyard Heads and Tails Game is a standout product that deserves all five stars. It’s engaging, educational, and most importantly, incredibly enjoyable for young children. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a fun and enriching game for their little ones.

🐾 LiVv̆̈Y 🐾Reviewed in Australia on 3 December 20255.0 out of 5 stars SURPRISINGLY A FAVOURITE!!
Style Name: Farmyard Heads and TailsVerified PurchaseWe play this game like memory but I sort the cards into heads and tails then place them face down in two separate piles. They just flip over one card from each pile. Then it’s easier for the little ones to match heads and tails. Mix them together to make a much harder version. Nice and easy to pack away too. I bought it for the younger ones (4-6) but the older ones like it too (7-9 years).
