SnipPals
Scissors that cut a paper chain only after one colour. Guess how many pieces, then cut. Then the chain comes already cut, and you work out which colour the scissors were looking for. Ages 6–8.
▶ Play it nowBuilt for sittings of about 15 minutes on the screen. That is our design budget, not a measurement.
