Game Review: Let's Grow - The Life Cycles Game




*Note: This post contains affiliate links*

Let’s Grow - The Life Cycles Game is a fast moving and colorful science oriented game for kids ages 5 and up.  

Baby Girl got this game for Christmas last year and it is fast becoming a family favorite.  It is quick to play, usually less than 20 minutes, and it is fun.  Sort of a cross between Trouble and Memory, your goal is to fill up your card with the corresponding life cycle pieces (example: the Butterfly player has to get an egg, a caterpillar, a chrysalis, and an adult butterfly) as you go around the board.  If you don’t pick the right piece the first time around you keep going until you get it. 

 My science oriented girl loves to be different players each time we play (Butterfly, Plant, Frog, and Chicken).  We have been playing it a lot recently due to her Butterfly Garden Project being in full swing.  Buds (4) can actually play this game, but it stretches him a little.  I know a lot of 3-4 year olds that would probably do fine with it however, so if you think your younger child can handle it I wouldn’t hesitate to get it for them.  

The only downside to this game that I can tell is that it might lose its appeal if played a ton.  It is very simple to play, and there isn’t a lot of challenge to it.  That said, we have been playing it once or twice a week for the past month and I am not bored with it yet.  The memory match aspect of it really helps with keeping everyone into the game play.  

Overall, this is a game our family has come to greatly enjoy and we recommend it!
