Did you know that memory-boosting exercises help improve brain function and positively impact your creative ability as you age? That's why so many sages are addicted to puzzles like word searches and Wordle!
Here's a playful way to exercise your memory and boost your brain power: Play my Tree-mendous Memory! game. It prints in two sizes and is easily assembled as you muse about how much stronger your mind muscles will grow. It doesn't matter how old you are — the game's designed for all ages!
Don't be fooled by its mere appearance. Tree-mendous Memory! offers an immersive experience one doesn't get from off-the-shelf games.
For example, your participation in the game prep is an exquisite creative activity in itself; cutting out leaves and assembling the puzzle-like pieces randomly on the tree branches will surely enhance your appreciation for the creative process and diverse ways ideas are conceived and expressed.
As a bonus, there's a hidden innovation in game that's enhanced it's tactileness. You'll find it as the "tip" on the rules page and get to experience the brilliant idea in action.
