Like any great artist, Mother Nature has favorite designs that repeat throughout her work, even among wildly different creations. This game of observation and exploration captures those natural masterpieces and challenges kids—and grown-ups—to see the amazing visual connections between animals, plants, insects, and more. Each of the 210 photo cards features an up-close detail from nature (like the curl of a lizard's tail or the stripes on a zebra's coat) and asks players to match the pattern, shape, or color to another card—and keep going to create an astounding montage of connected images. Thousands (yep, thousands) of matches are possible for hours of play that ignites curiosity about the natural world. Lush photography invites little ones to develop their observation and abstract-thinking abilities, while conversations about what they see encourage social and emotional skills. Each photo inspires the question, "What is this?" Turn the card over and scan the QR code to see the entire image, read about what's depicted, and meet the conservation photographer behind the lens. Comes with a 38-page booklet that has instructions for 14 creative activities, including games, drawing, and storytelling. Made in China.
