Editorial Review The winner of an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award, Make It Up answers those probing questions about how something is made or what it's made up of. Each of the 18 sturdy cardboard story cards holds illustrations of five or more related items, with the center item located on a punch-out oval section. The game can be played alone or with one or two others, and the goal is to match each oval tile with its proper story card. For example, the birdhouse is matched with the bird, saw, nails and wood; the painting matches with the paint tubes, brush, palette, and blank canvas, and so on. The game comes with a Parents Guide of brief narratives for each card, along with rules for cooperative play and for memory/matching play. The game was designed by a practicing child psychotherapist and a child psychiatrist.
