Throwing it back to 2016, Orchard Toys New Baby Lottowas shortlisted for the Best Toddler Toy award. It was tested by mum Amy Gourd, who said, "It's a great game that was easy for my two-year-old to follow. Its the first board game she has ever played, and she pretty much was able to follow what she had to do. It created talking points for us and helped her to learn about different items and objects. Its a great quality game with pieces that she's able to handle easily. She very much enjoyed playing it, and it was great to see her play, understand and follow the rules."

Tested by mum, Sophie Knight; she said: The poop deck set of cards was instantly loved by my little boy, who's three. Admittedly we're not at the age where he can play complicated card games yet, but he (naturally) loved the illustrations and matching six poops or three parps made him laugh a LOT. It's not just a pack of cards, though, as it comes with suggestions of different games to play. Would definitely recommend to any toddler who loves toilet humour (so, that's all of them, then).
