Because the questions have to be read, this is a game that requires close involvement with an adult or with an older child. … Since just two or three correct answers send the trains down the hill, the game ends quickly As with a lot of games like this, adults have to quickly make peace with the fact this is not a game developed for them. Our kids, too, were only willing to play the game a few times “by the rules,” and then went on to moving the pieces around under the direction of my four year old boy.

The Easy Bake Oven is back! (but minus Betty Crocker)

As hard as it is to believe, I actually played with a Betty Crocker Easy Bake Oven when I was about six or seven years old. I was excited to try this out the Easy Bake Oven from Hasbro with my own kids, a four year old boy and eight year old girl.

Play-doh Magic Swirl

Kids like the many forms you can use to make ice cream-like objects and have a lot of fun playing waiter for hours on end. … Dads, even, will enjoy playing with this for a few minutes since it’s pretty captivating how play-doh can be manipulated into miniature, yet “life-like” forms. … This is unfortunate since it’s hard to really clean all the little bits of play-doh off it, and it does eventually shed a lot of play-doh crumbs all around its environs.
