Melissa and Doug License Plate Game

Picked up a copy of this at a yard sale a few years back for $5. My nephew played with it in my car every time he was in it, even if it was only for a short 5-minute ride. We ordered this copy for him for Christmas, and he loves it. Not only is it a fantastic way to kill some time on a long car ride, but it is a great learning tool. Wish I had this when I was a kid!

My girls loved this game on our road trip across the US. I highly recommend this wooden game.

This will be the second Melissa and Doug License Plate Game our family has. My mom purchased one for our 7 year old. He absolutely love this game. It is one that our whole family (ages 7-37) play in the car together. The nice thing about this is both sides of the license plates can be used for two different games. The first as in the description the license plate game. However when you flip the piece (indicating that you have found that plate) it has the state capital on it. The sides of each piece are either red or blue for more competitive play. The pieces are attached to the board with strong circular elastic. This is a little tough to maneuver at first, but the more you play the easier it gets. We have had our 1st one for over a year and the elastic is still holding up well ( not loose at all). I purchased the 2nd one for a gift for my nephew as a limit to car screen time for Christmas. He loves "the game from the olden days".

We have used this over and over again since buying this last year. It is a must for every road trip. One time we even found all of the states!

I love that there’s no loose pieces, can be taken along anytime we travel
