Janod - Giant Dominoes for Kids - Double Sided, 28 Tiles

These double-sided Giant Dominoes are a genuine playroom staple. Numbers on one face, brightly coloured jungle animals on the other, all made from sturdy FSC card and packed in a Janod storage box with a carry handle.

Two games in one set

The double-sided design is what makes this work across a wide age range. A three-year-old plays the animal side, matching a lion to a lion - a pure visual matching game with no numeracy required. Turn the tiles over and a five or six-year-old plays proper numeric dominoes with the same set. One purchase, several years of use.

Giant tiles for a reason

Standard dominoes are too small for young children to handle and too easy to lose. The oversized format means a toddler can pick one up cleanly, see the pattern from across the table, and place it without knocking the row over. It also means they turn up when you tidy rather than disappearing forever.

Real learning inside a real game

Matching is the foundation of early maths, and dominoes teach it better than a worksheet because there is a game riding on getting it right. The number side introduces quantity recognition - seeing four dots and knowing it is four without counting - which is a meaningful precursor to arithmetic.

A family game that actually gets played

Rounds are short, the rules are known by everyone, and nobody needs to read an instruction booklet. It is a rainy-day and holiday-house game that works across three generations, and the carry-handle box means it travels without shedding tiles.

Brightly coloured, robustly made and equally at home on the kitchen table or a picnic rug.
