  • All Packed Up and Ready to Go

    You've bought all the gifts--the budget is spent. Everything is wrapped. The laundry is done and the car is packed for the drive to wherever. It could be just across town to Grandma's or it could be across country to Aunt Susie's (does anyone have an Aunt Susie?). The kids are hyper--after all it is Christmas (or whatever holiday you are celebrating). How on earth are you going to survive the car ride, the train ride, the wait in the airport? Maybe you should just go back to bed... Luckily...

  • Family Game Night

    Two weeks off of school. Yes, there are all those new presents to play with, but you know you are still going to hear, "I'm Bored". The holiday time is a wonderful for family togetherness and a great way to spend time together is to play games. Everyone can have fun playing games--even Mom and Dad. Think back to your own childhood. The same games we played then are there for you to play with your children. Here are the games that are in our toy closet: Monopoly Scrabble Boggle Sorry...

  • Bananagrams

    Do you find that sometimes the food comes just a little too slowly at restaurants. As the kids get older, the paper place mats are just not doing the trick. I find we end up playing endless games of "I Spy", if the restaurant and things handing on the wall or "Hangman", if I was wise and remembered paper. Here is a new choice for restaurants or any time you need to occupy the kids--like waiting in the airport. Just grab the pouch and go. You do remember to pack it : ) Bananagrams...

  • Zimbbos

    Really quick today as we still housing tons of relatives.-- Zimbbos This is a fun game for young children. Kids use their Sense of Balance to Build the Most Elephantastic Pyramid. The elephants are ready to impress with this brand new game of balance. Taking turns, roll the die to find out how many elephants you have to add to the pyramid. The player who puts the last elephant on the pyramid wins the game. It is a classic stacking game where kids can develop their spatial relationships and test motor...

  • ThinkFun

    This is what leads on ThinkFun's website. I believe it. They have the best mind challenging games on the market. There are games for all ages. In Rush Hour, you look at a pattern card, and then place the cars and trucks according to the pattern. You need to figure out how to move the cars around so that your red car can get out of the "rush". Or maybe you would prefer Safari Rush Hour, where you have to get your Safari Van out without the animals getting you. You can try it on-line...

  • Horton Hears a Who--You to the Rescue

    The first toy in my favorite toy series, is the game I loved the most at Toy Fair last year. It is called Horton Hears a Who--You to the Rescue. It is so cute--it even comes with a elephant hat to wear! Here is some of the reasons I liked it so much. When my daughter turned 3, she got 3 copies of Candyland at her birthday party (yes 3 copies, everyone thinks 3 is the magical age to start playing games). I was so excited that she was finally old enough to play games. Except she wasn't. She didn't...
