Last week we shared some of our favorite characters and the lessons they help us teach our kids, but after all of the hustle and bustle of getting kids in school and readjusting to the new schedule, we thought we all needed a little fun! So this week we’re thinking about our favorite games. Indoors or out, we all have games we’ve loved since childhood or have discovered with our mini-me’s.
Hillary loves all kinds of games – card games, board games, etc. “We loved them all. Some of my fonder memories growing up were playing card games with my family at Thanksgiving. We had grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins all playing the same game.” And her creativity (hello, have you seen her Handmade by Hillary DIY’s?) extends to making up games with her little girl, including matching, animal sounds, color sorting, etc.

Classic games that are fun for all ages are the ones Paula likes best. “Hide & Seek and Red Light/Green Light are faves because they work for all ages….ALL ages…which is hard to find.” The Stop & Go DIY on our FUN page can add another fun element – craft it, then play it!
What games did you love as a kid and still play (or can’t wait to play) with your wee ones?
