Pondering Mother Goose and Grimm

Mother Goose and Grimm, 2013-06-04.
What game is this? "Scrabble!" you say, wrongly, like an idiot. Scrabble is played on a 15×15 board, using tiles that actually fit on its squares, with racks that hold (at minimum) seven tiles.

The colours on this board seem to be random, there's no markings, and you couldn't fit more than a handful of words on there, even if they didn't have their racks sitting on the board for no apparent reason. And looking at that bucket of tiles. You see how big those tiles are? How many do you think are in that bucket? Three?

Actually the ones in the bucket seem to be much smaller and may have come from a different game entirely. Or perhaps they're the tiles that go with this board and the oversized ones are from something else. That would explain why a four-letter word is taking up five squares.

I don't know what's going on here, but I'm pretty sure they're doing it wrong.
