• The activity helped them understand the concept of greater than and less than when comparing the attributes of the minibeasts.
• The child also learned about probability by playing the game and experiencing the different outcomes.

For continued development, encourage the child to create more complex top trumps games with different attributes and values. They can also practice multiplication and division by multiplying or dividing the values of the cards.
