What our experts think
Designed with younger children in mind, set-up starts with building a tower using the worm-themed pieces. This initial process encouraged collaboration, and our testers enjoyed working together. Play begins by rolling a dice to determine which colour worm has to be removed.
The children enjoyed the excitement of carefully pulling out the worms without toppling the tower. The dice added an element of structure to the game, helping the younger children practice turn-taking while also reinforcing colour recognition. Being a relatively short game, most of the children remained engaged for several rounds. The game also helps to develop essential skills such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor control and problem-solving. It’s a good choice for families looking for a simple yet engaging activity that encourages fun, interactive play.
