The ThinkFun Friends games—Tree House and Play Date—are perfect introductions to early gameplay that nurture social communication, language, and thinking skills through imaginative, structured fun. Designed with toddlers and preschoolers in mind, these games use colorful characters and familiar play themes to spark interaction and cooperative learning.
Each game encourages turn-taking, joint attention, and vocabulary, as players match friendly animal characters as they climb a treehouse (and slide down!) or plan a play date. The games naturally prompt social communication—“Whose turn is it?” “Where does the hippo go?”—giving children repeated practice in using and understanding language during shared play.
With all ThinkFun games, there are tiered levels of play, which grow with your child. Early levels focus on simple matching and identifying actions, while later levels introduce light strategy, storytelling, and sequencing—ideal for expanding cognitive flexibility and narrative skills. Whether following a routine or creating new ones, children are learning to plan, listen, and express themselves.
ThinkFun Friends Tree House and Play Date build the foundational skills for successful communication and thinking—all through the joy of friendship and play.
