  • I wish I could keep my kids playing longer and more of these games. They always love it when they get them and play it lots for a while, then they get bored with it and don’t want to do it anymore….

  • I’ll have to check out the Super Sand but check what the ingredients are. Ordinay Play Doh is made from ordinary flour, no good if you have a family member who has an illness and must not come into ordinary flour at all.

  • Argh, it really is that time of year again isn’t it!?! I am definitely looking for ideas now.

    A couple of years awful I purchased Rubik’s Race. It has a lot of pieces and I have been ‘finding’ pieces for over a year now. I’m not sure it’s been played in almost that long either.
