A Gift of Playing Cards is a Perfect Excuse for some Family Fun-time!

Ideal entertainment for Dad and the Kids to play on the next Rainy Day!

A set of playing cards presents so many opportunities... making a house or cards, performing magic tricks, testing yourself at a memory game, entertaining yourself with solitaire or challenging family or friends to a game or two of snap.  In fact when it comes to card games - there are almost endless possibilities and it is statistically cool to know that every time you shuffle your cards - their order arrangement may well be unique throughout history!  (Wonderful math magic... Google 'a randomly shuffled deck has never been seen before and will never be seen again')

Cards are a brilliant for assisting learning too... They improve kid's fine motor skills when dealing, sorting and learning to shuffle the cards.  Social and communication skills are learned as players interact or wait for their turn.  They have the opportunity to learn good sportsmanship while winning or losing graciously.  Their memory will be enhanced, attention span will be stretched and they will often develop the ability to problem-solve while playing and competing. 

 Whether you are on your own or home with family or friends - a pack of playing cards will sort out the entertainment.

Want to know some freaky stats relating to a pack of cards:-

*  The 52 cards are equal to the weeks in a year.

*  The 12 Court cards (4 King, 4 Queens, 4 Jacks) represent the 12 months in a year.

*  The 4 suits represent the four seasons in a year.

*  Finally... If you add up each suit it equals 91, multiplied by 4 suits plus a Joker = 365.  Add a second Joker and that equates to 366 days for a leap year!
