{"product_id":"wooden-farm-dominoes","title":"Wooden Farm Dominoes — Two Games in One Box","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTwo games in one box — and a real set of dominoes, not a toddler imitation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the tiles one way and you have 28 dominoes with coloured dots: a full double-six set you can play the actual game with. Turn them over and every tile carries two farmyard characters instead, which is the game a two-year-old can genuinely win. That's what makes this set last. It starts as animal matching and ends up as a family game, out of the same little wooden box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🐄 The animal side, for the ones just starting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo farmyard characters to a tile, drawn in the same friendly style that runs through the whole Jumini farm range. A two-year-old doesn't need to know a thing about numbers to play this side — they only need to spot that this animal matches that one. For a lot of children it's the first proper turn-taking game they ever play, and turn-taking is the real lesson hiding inside it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🔢 The number side, for later\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlip the set over and the coloured dots come out: 28 tiles, two ends each, the standard double-six set your own grandparents played with. Counting the dots comes first, then matching them, then the real game somewhere around four or five. One box, several years of use, and no batteries at any point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e✋ Big enough for small hands\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach domino is 8cm long and 4cm wide — considerably chunkier than an adult set, and far too big to be a worry at the age it's made for. Little fingers can pick one up, stand it on its end, and knock the whole row over, which, let's be honest, is what most of them will want to do first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🌱 FSC wood, honest paint, and a box with a lid\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood is FSC certified from well-managed forests, the paints and lacquers are non-toxic and child-safe, and the tiles live in a wooden box rather than a plastic tray. The lid matters more than it sounds: it's the difference between a set that lasts and a set that's four tiles short by Easter. The box is small enough for a bag, which makes this a good one for holidays and long car journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat we like about it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genuine double-six set — 28 tiles, playable as real dominoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnimals on one side, numbers on the other, so it suits two different ages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChunky 8 x 4cm tiles that small hands can actually stand up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFSC wood and non-toxic child-safe paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWooden storage box with a lid — travels well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of the wider Jumini farm range, so it collects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable from:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 wooden dominoes in a wooden box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDomino size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8cm x 4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19cm x 10.5cm x 5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e FSC certified wood, non-toxic child-safe paints and lacquers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN71 tested, UKCA and CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e wipe with a damp cloth, don't soak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e❓ Frequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e28 loose wooden tiles and a small child — should I be worried?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAt 8cm by 4cm a domino is nowhere near small enough to be a choking risk — think the size of a bar of chocolate rather than a small part. It's rated from 2 years with no under-threes warning on the box, which is worth knowing if there's a younger sibling crawling about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a two-year-old actually play dominoes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNot the proper game, no — that tends to arrive around four or five. What they can do straight away is the animal side: find the matching pig. That's exactly why the tiles are printed both ways, and it's the reason this set is still in use two years after you buy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a full domino set or a simplified one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA full one. 28 tiles, two ends per tile, double-six — the same set as any adult box of dominoes, just larger and with farm animals on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWipe with a damp cloth and don't soak it. Painted wood doesn't take kindly to sitting in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a good gift if I don't know the child's age?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of the better ones, precisely because it works at two and at five.
