Boredom Buster II





 Boredom Busters II... 
looks like rain and snow this weekend! Not a bad thing!



 Perplexus...
Hours of challenging fun with 3 starting points to work the ball through the maze inside the ball. 100 challenging barriers to conquer by yourself or to have a contest with family and friends to see who can get the farthest or how far you can get in a minute or two. Great for dexterity and hand- eye coordination.
 



 You may recognize this fella! I believe it could be Neil Armstrong or the little alien guy in our front window! At any rate, why not shoot for the moon and be the commander of your own Lunar module or space shuttle? Space exploration works during daylight hours too! Perhaps there could could be some moon dust waiting to be discovered or a moon rock that has never been overturned? If you have a sock monkey, he could even be the co-commander of this big adventure! Launch some excitement and creativity with some dress up play using a cardboard box for a space ship or you could even sit on the floor with your legs on the seat of the sofa to mimic blasting off into space! Mission Control....




Ah yes, one of our favorites! From Peaceable Kingdom where everyone plays together, no one is left out and everyone has fun! Cooperative games offer everyone in the family an opportunity to to work together as a team against the game, not each other. Either the game wins or the players win, it's that simple! Cooperative games emphasize non-stressful play situations, social and emotional development, shared decision making, creative problem solving,positive self-esteem, and cooperation! In Count Your Chickens you help Mother Hen get all her baby chicks back in the coop before the fox gets there! Don't forget, these are 100% green games too!
