I have bought it twice!
My 3 year old granddaughter has played with this for over a year. It is a well made product that works differently as she grows. I am so thrilled that I bought a second one for my great nephew. That one however came with a warped door that will not close. I wish I could buy a replacement door without having to take the toy away for a return since he already LOVES it.

Fun game that teaches memory and matching skills!
This is such a fun and adorable game! My almost 5 year old and 3 year old love playing with this every single day! The activity guide provides 3 levels to play which is fun to do with just the two of them learning to take turns and play together nicely or even by themselves while Iâm getting lunch or dinner ready. It has kept them occupied for a long time! I love that this game is teaching them to pay attention, how to match and using their memory. My kids love just playing with the adorable playhouse as well. They have brought over some of their other little toys and I love watching them imaginative play with the cute bears, house and other toys. The possibilities are endless with how this can be played with. I also love that it doesnât need any batteries! Clean up is also a breeze because all of the bears fit in the doors. The playhouse and bears are all high quality and durable so I know this toy will last a long time and they can continue to play it for many years to come! Highly recommend!!

Fun gift for little one
We got this for my daughter for Christmas. She likes to take turns but most boardgames are too advanced for her age level (2yo). Itâs a nice game to play when youâre trying to get your child to bring their energy level down. She loves playing a few rounds before bed or early morning. Save the box to store when not in use so you donât lose the bears.

Great First Game for Baby/Toddler!
My 17 month old LOVES this game! Itâs perfect because she loves to open little compartments and take things out. She isnât quite ready to use the spinner, but we just take the first bear out and then try to find a matchâ¦so this game can definitely grow with them. The little bears are also fun to play with on their own. If I could make one recommendation, it would be with the doorsâ¦they are a bit difficult to open (I think they are supposed to help with pincher grasp, but even I have a little trouble grasping it). Overall, I think this was a great buy and would recommend it as a great gift for a little one!

Fun
I bought this for my grandson’s 2nd birthday. It was great fun for that age. We didn’t do the structured play of looking for a pair, he was happy just to take out all the bears and put them back in and found it great fun. The doors are just challenging enough for little hands to make it interesting without being frustrating.

just bue it,
My granddaughter has played with this from when she was one and a half. with a hot needle I made a hole and put a cotton string through, with a lot of knots. now she was able to open the doors with her small fingers. she sat just by herself. open and close, take in, take out these small bears She is still too small to play with the wheel.

Adorable gift for two – four years
The look of anticipation on the little 2 year old’s face as this game came out of the packaging was more than I had hoped to see. He explored this game for the better part of an hour, which is a long time for a two year old to be absorbed. The bears are sweet, the doors are easy for little fingers to manipulate and the spinner looks like it will hold up well, when he has grown into actually playing this game “by the rules”. Until then he will find his own ways to enjoys this toy/game.

Fun game for those kids just learn to play games.
I’ve been looking for a game for my 19 month old for a while now. And while other games claimed to be good for his age they rarely were until we found this one! There are a few different ways to play so kids can grow with it but for him we put the bears behind different doors and he finds them. He keeps his attention for at least 20 minutes, which is perfect as a pre-bedtime wind down game.

Super lindos los ositos. A mi hija de dos años le encantan, eso si hay que tener mucha paciencia porque no entienden tan fácil eso de hacer pares. Por ahora no le añado la ruleta para que no la rompa y porque no entenderÃa que tiene que asociar el color con la ropa del osito. Pero los ama para buscarlos en su casita, igual estimula su lenguaje e imitación. Se me hacen bien por el precio, está resistente no se ha roto nada pese al uso rudo.

Liebe Leser,wir dürfen Mein erstes Spiel: Bärenpaare von Learning Resources testen und möchten dieses wie folgt bewerten:Man erhält hier dieses süÃe Häuschen mit Türen und Fenstern, dazu 6 Bären, wovon 3 jeweils ein zueinander passendes Paar bilden und eine Drehscheibe.Das Ganze ist eigentlich ein Spiel und erinnert ein wenig an Memory. Es muss eins der Bärchen des Bärenpaares im Haus versteckt werden. Es müssen dann abwechselnd die Türen oder Fenster geöffnet werden, um sein passendes Bärchen zu finden. Wer sein Paar gefunden hat, hat gewonnen.Das Häuschen und die Bären machen einen qualitativ sehr guten Eindruck. Die Bären sind allesamt sehr stabil und passen von der GröÃe perfekt durch jede Ãffnung des Hauses. Sie können überall aufrecht stehen.Das Häuschen selbst ist ebenfalls gut verarbeitet. Die Fenster und Türen lassen sich leichtgängig öffnen und schlieÃen, ohne zu haken.Ich konnte auch nirgends abstehende Plastikgrate entdecken. Alles ist schön abgerundet und groà genug, sodass nichts von kleineren Kindern verschluckt werden kann.Das Häuschen ist nicht allzu groÃ, was uns aber sehr recht ist. So hat man nicht so ein riesen Trumm im Kinderzimmer stehen und es ist schnell verstaut. Die Bären können, wenn gerade nicht gespielt wird, alle im Haus Platz finden und dort verstaut werden bis zum nächsten Einsatz.Einzig die Drehscheibe wirkt sehr billig und nicht äuÃerst langlebig. Der Pfeil verbiegt sich sehr schnell, weshalb man es am besten keinem Kleinkind in die Hand gibt.Unser abschlieÃendes Fazit: Ein sehr niedliches Spiel für gröÃere aber auch kleinere Kinder. Das Spiel funktioniert denkbar einfach, ohne dass sich Kinder groÃartig Regeln merken müssen. Sehr einfach gehalten. Alles ist sehr sauber verarbeitet und die Aufmachung sehr süÃ. Nur die Drehscheibe ist sehr billig und wird es vermutlich nicht ewig machen. Wir empfehlen es gerne weiter und vergeben 5 Sterne.Ich hoffe ich konnte Ihnen mit meiner Rezension weiterhelfen.Sollte sich etwas an meiner Meinung ändern, werde ich diese Rezension anpassen. (Stand 01/2021)
