Games

Board games that are fun for both children and adults tend to get played often and don't lose their
novelty quickly.

As you may expect, games that give a
real chance for a child to win against a parent are incredibly
popular with them!  :)    Games such as Rush Hour and Shape by Shape may need you to work with   
your children to solve puzzles while teaching them how to think through problems.

As always, you should examine the game to see if it is appropriate for your child and pick the vendor  
that best meets your needs.
