Teach Your Monster Number Skills

Designed with experts in early years math to align with the Pre-K and Reception curriculum, Teach Your Monster: Number Skills will reinforce critical number abilities such as splitting numbers in useful ways using number bonds, the fundamentals of addition and subtraction, counting, and subitising. The more kids play with these core concepts, the better their number sense becomes, giving them a solid foundation for success in math, in school and beyond.

Incorporating the latest research on early years math, the game, which spans across 40 exciting levels — with more coming soon — is designed for children aged 3 to 6+ and continually adapts, rapidly becoming more challenging as children progress. The pace of play is tailored to each child, only moving on when the child has mastered the concept they are practicing.

Teach Your Monster Adventurous Eating

A ground-breaking game that encourages kids to eat a broader range of fruit and veg and build a better relationship with food.

Inspired by the Sapere method, Adventurous Eating is a game developed with child feeding specialist Dr Lucy Cooke. This scientific learning technique encourages children to learn new things about food. They do this by using all five senses; sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste.

How does it work?

A child makes their very own monster guided through the game by Bub. From our research, we know that kids love caring for characters. It also allows children to be a bit braver with trying new things, playing through their monster.

Their monster plays a fun mini-game at each of the five tables at the party, one for each sense. Kids love that their monsters are exploring the food and reacting! Their monster won’t always like the food they try, and that’s OK—next time, they might. In real life, we’ve found that the children become more open to exploring the food too.

Their monster uses its senses to explore over 40 different fruit and vegetables!
