Children around the age of 6 are skilled, very perceptive, and notice many details. At this time, parents usually try to prepare their children for future school activities. Even during this time, wooden toys can be a big help. Children in school usually learn and train their rational thinking abilities. However, a child also needs creative and fantasy stimulation. The game Imagination by Janod can help with that. The objective of the game is to create the longest possible story by using the wooden picture cards. Children must say the story out loud, which helps train their vocabulary.
