And Matching too! Recently I received two items from Alphabet Alley, a company who make Christian toys for kids. First things first, I don’t really understand their name, I thought it would be educational toys, a learn the alphabet or learn to spell curriculum, or something related to the alphabet! But no, they just have toys, semi-educational toys, but 
just toys. Besides the Go Fish! game and Matching game I received they make blocks, puzzles, and magnetic play sets. My impressions of the products themselves were a bit mixed. The products were both cute, really cute. The matching game had sturdier pieces then most cardboard games, but it was still cardboard. The Go Fish! cards were also cute, but not really special in any other way. They weren’t super sturdy, they weren’t some unusual size. Really the products are just cute products. If you want your kid to ONLY play with bible items, then they may be good options for you. I like the matching game because it is simply animals, ark, and rainbow, so even non-Christians will be able to play with cute figures.
It bugged me also when I took the Go Fish cards out of the box and found that the box is several sizes to big, and there is a cardboard insert holding them in. Not only is this wasted resources, but storing them is a nightmare. You have to either fit them all in the insert, much to annoying and hard for a child, or have them rattling around the box.
My general impressions is that they are cute, fun games. To me the prices are a bit steep. The Go Fish game is $7, just to much to me when similar items can be found just about anywhere for just a few dollars, or even at the dollar store. Their Match games are from $11-15 depending on the number of tiles (a 24 tile set, 12 matches is $11) is really expensive when I know I bought Memory for $7 at Christmas and it includes 72 tiles!
So to sum it up Alphabet Alley DOES have cute toys, and the memory tiles are sturdy, but the prices are steep. If you want Bible toys, then I recommend it, just be prepared to pay for it.
