Did you know that September 25th is Family Day? True story! While we should always try to spend as much time with our kids as possible, Family Day reminds us to take a break from our busy lives and really focus on bonding over fun activities together. I can’t think of a better way to spend time together than by turning it into a family play date!
Break out the board games and the cooperative toys (things that you can play with together, versus toys that really don’t require much imagination) and let the bonding begin! Check out a few awesome toys and games for toddlers through teens that your family will love! Plus, keep reading for a chance to win one of these great toys!

Educational Insights’ The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game®
I’ve been a long-time fan of Educational Insights. They make the most amazing toys and games for kids of all ages. The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game® is designed for kids ages 3-5, but fun for adults to play along with as well. Your forest friends are hungry and they need your help! Spin the spinner, squeeze the matching colored acorn with your Squirrel Squeezer, and place it into your log. Be the first to fill your log with delicious acorns and you win! You could also spin “pick an acorn,” “steal an acorn,” or “lose an acorn,” so be strategic, little squirrel! A quick, fun game that can be played continuously in a short time with easy setup and cleanup.
Doodle a Droodle from Purple Cow
Looking for something that the older kids will love? A new take on the classic game Pictionary! The Purple Cow brings the “Droodles” back to life with a twist in their game Doodle a Droodle! What exactly is a “droodle”? It’s a mix between a doodle and a riddle, and it’s pure fun! In this entertaining game, you’ll need to thik creatively and sketch your interpretation of the droodle. If you do a good job, you win points! This game helps develop fine motor skills, critical thinking, creativity, and “out of the box” thinking. Plus, it’s definitely good for your sense of humor! Inside the box you’ll find 108 droodles, erasable tin board, 2 erasable pens, a sand timer & instructions booklet. This game is the Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio – Gold Seal Award 2016, and its perfect for ages 6+.
