#today it is raining again. Time for some #boardgames to try an entertain these bored kiddos. Which are your #family favourites for young #kids? We like #orchard, #hootOwlHoot, and #pengaloo. Games with tactile pieces get the kids most engaged. So dragon’s breath is a big hit too. Lots to love by #Haba ,#PeaceableKingdom , and #blueorangegames
@boardgamebreakdown those look great. The unicorn cloud stack seems very up their alley. A fun dexterity game.
@girls_can There's another Unicorn Glitterluck game she likes but has no dexterity component. It's more of a standard roll and move but the unicorn theme really speaks to her, lol
@girls_can My 8-year-old nieces had a lot of fun with Spot It! at our place recently. More pattern-matching than dexterity, but the speed and pointing aspects kept them engaged for probably 20-30 min over many rounds.
@htdrake spot it looks like a fun party-style card matching game, like snap but with a twist! Thanks for the suggestion.
@girls_can Yep! And the cards are really well done to make it just the right level of challenge. I can't count the number of times I've looked a a pair of cards, sworn there are no matches, and then it pops right out at me.
@girls_can we used to like Kinder Catan and Gula Gula. I played a simple version of Royal Turf with them too, because they liked rolling dice and moving the little horses
@jda oh what’s gula gula? We have some junior versions of things (ticket to ride, monopoly, anomia) but they’re still to young to play those. Ones like #Dixit and Stories of The Three Coins don’t require reading but the game play is a bit complex for the 4 y old twins. I suspect it will be a few years before we could manage Junior #Catan, though that will be fun! I’m also excited to bust out #topiary and #Planet when they’re older.
@girls_can sorry, it's called Gulo Gulo and it is a fun game of removing colorful eggs trying to avoid having the straw fall over.:
@jda oh that looks super fun. The colourful eggs and the Catan-like tiles.
@girls_can My 7 year old really likes these two, both having to do with stacking.
