 * Suitable for Years 2 up (adults love it too!), with concepts that both challenge and engage.** || [|Something Special Painting Game]



Although based on the T.V show Something Special, kids don't need to watch to be able to play. This game is fun and colourful and the way the activity unfolds is in the player's hands. They select characters and storyline, then read it (with text and audio support). At various parts of the process, they're invited to draw some of the images that would go into the story. ||
