Boston, MA (June 13, 2021) – Most three-year-olds have a mental to-do list of eat, nap, play, potty, then repeat. Saving the planet can now be added thanks to Adventerra Games. With their roll out of simple puzzles and memory games -- including Hungry Bins: Learn To Recycle ($19.99) or Saving Water ($14.99) -- even preschoolers can comprehend living a green life. In addition to dozens of toy industry honors, these beginner games were authenticated by STEM.org and earned its Early Childhood Product Seal.
Tots quickly discover through play that conserving water or recycling the trash is something they can do with the help of mom and dad. The National Parenting Center awarded its prestigious Seal of Approval to every one of Adventerra’s five preschool games.
“Get this, Adventerra is so environmentally conscious that the film that wraps around the box is made from sugarcane,” boasts one of the glowing critiques from The National Parenting Center, “and is totally biodegradable. This company practices what they preach, and parents loved it.”
The Toy Insider™, the toy industry's most influential organization, included three early childhood games in nine (!) of its 2021 Spring & Summer Gift Guides. The eagerly awaited guides showcase must-have toys that teach and keep kids entertained and/or activities and games that keep the boredom at bay. Hungry Bins, Polar Adventure, and Respect the Earth ($14.99) are featured in three gift guides: The Toy Insider Activities & Games; The Toy Insider Budget-Friendly Faves; plus The Toy Insider Nature & Educational Toys.
Because moms know best, many parents look to the annual Mom’s Choice Awards for the best in family-friendly products. Adventerra Games captured a golden seal award for each of their five preschool products! “In this memory game,” wrote Mom’s Choice when describing Animals at Risk ($14.99), “children match animals with their babies, and learn about their habitats. The colors of the backgrounds and the illustrations on the large pieces help players to match the cards. This game introduces children to the concept of endangered animals and the importance of protecting them.”
The toy industry honors keep flowing with five Hot Diggity Awards. Known for giving out only the best of the best with a blue Hot Diggity seal, these wins signify innovation, quality, entertainment and/or educational value and a commitment to excellence. Adventerra scored five customized reviews on what makes each preschool game so Hot Diggity. “This easyto-learn game introduces children to the topics of climate change, protecting habitats and compassion for animals” begins the upbeat review for Polar Adventure: Disappearing Ice ($24.99). “It's extremely well made with sturdy game pieces and lovely illustrations of our arctic friends. Children will feel very proud of themselves as they move the animals to safety!”

Animals at Risk: Ecological Memory Game • Ages 2+ • $14.99
The National Parenting Center Spring 2021 Seal of Approval
“This game goes beyond the classic memory game, as no two cards are the same. Instead, you have to match the at-risk species parent animal with the same species baby. This makes the game a bit more challenging and requires more than just an identical match, but some extra attention to match species. The quality of the packaging is superb, and the cards are made of thick and durable cardboard. The images printed on the cards are bright and realistic of the species represented. The backs of each card are covered in animal footprints, so you can play another game guessing which animal made which print. Simply put, this is a high-quality, fun game.”

Polar Adventure: Disappearing Ice • Ages 4+ • $24.99
The National Parenting Center Spring 2021 Seal of Approval
“If you are looking for a game with a purpose, something that will entertain your children and teach them about important matters at the same time, you should definitely consider Polar Adventure. This game introduces children to the problem of climate change and its effect on polar animals’ habitats. The goal is to lead a polar animal – a seal, a polar bear, a bunny, or a penguin – to the safety of an iceberg by rolling a die. If you get a tree, for example, which improves the quality of the air, it prevents glaciers from melting and gets you moving. Children will learn about both the positive and negative actions and behaviors that affect our climate, all while playing and having fun. This game helps develop tactical skills, teaches the respect of rules, heightens children’s awareness of the polar fauna challenges, and helps deal with the emotions related to winning or losing when playing with others.”

Saving Water: Ecologic Puzzle • Ages 2+ • $14.99|
The National Parenting Center Spring 2021 Seal of Approval
“The puzzle comes with 12 mini puzzles, each containing just two pieces. This makes it great for beginners and totally fitting for the suggested age range of 2+. Of the two pieces that go to each set, one has a red edge, and one has a green edge. The ones with red edges show how water is wasted, whereas the pieces with the green edges show examples of how to conserve water. This is a great teaching opportunity for parents. It opens the door for communication on the importance of water, conservation, and the wildlife that lives in bodies of water. This puzzle is also great for helping children with visual memory, matching, and hand-eye coordination.”
