This is a great game for kids to learn how to repeat back and start giving back change. It’s a fun, interactive game where you get customers wanting individualized pizza orders, you make and bake their order, slide it over for them to eat, they pay, you give necessary change, and done! You can chose the difficulty, so if the kids can’t count back change yet, they can just do pizzas. Each customer gives stars based on experience and those stars determine how many customers you’ll get next time. The “profits” you earn can be used to buy a new oven/decor for your pizza store.
So we bought all things for our daughter after finding it here. She is having so much fun with all of it. Years ago I bought all things Leap Frog when it first came out for my much older daughter. Of course I am not knocking Leap Frog, I'm guessing all their educational toys are pretty high tech these days as well, but this is amazing. This Pizza Co. game is a great way to teach your child how to count money, how to do some basic math and eventually maybe just run your very own little pizza place ;-) The better you are the faster it is. I love hearing her laugh while learning. I certainly hope they come out with a lot more of these games.
We’ve had this product for almost a year (along with many of the other games) and this one is a real winner. My 3 year old loves to ask to play this with mom regularly. He sets it up. I get it started. He chooses to do money or pizza (it’s usually money and helping mom with pizzas). I like that we get to learn what money is and it keeps moving at a nice fast pace to keep us both engaged. For this age, he will ask what money to get. I’ll say “$2s and 3 quarters” and be patient as he gets those and puts them on the board. He likes the challenge and the speed. My one year old likes to play along and mimic the cute characters gibberish (when they are happy they make cute sounds). Thanks for a great game! We only wish there were more challenges (stars)! :)
I am extremely happy with every game we’ve gotten and this is one of my kids’ favorite. Sometimes you have to wait a beat before sliding the pizza over for it to be able to read it properly, but big deal, right? It teaches time management, fractions, money, addition, subtraction, inventory management, customer service, etc- all while having interactive fun. My 5 year old loves it and even my 3 year old can play it on her own on the toddler setting. The pieces are great quality and, as with all these products, come with an awesome storage box. Finally, a game that fits back into its box!! These games are worth every penny, especially because I know my kids will enjoy them for years to come (shoot, I have even played them for fun!).
This pizza company game is another wonderful edition to the family. It is super cute and educational. I really like the junior mode because it allows preschoolers to play with minimal assistance. We have been using this since the firs year it came out and we all love it. It grows with your child and makes the iPad an active tool for learning instead of a video player. I highly recommend the Pizza company simply for the money skills alone since schools don’t cover this skill any more. Plus reading facial expressions and following directions is a lifelong skill kiddo need. Two thumbs up to this.
