[Ad- gifted product] Every other Monday we take the time to go to our local Geek Retreat and play a little card or board game as a family. Kai normally has DnD on this day, but we come a little early to get settled and get some milk shakes for everyone. This week, we played a very quick game called The Muddles. This card game is all about combining two different creatures to create a new, silly, wild creature that can be picked up from the table.
[Ad- gifted product] From the creators of Exploding Kittens, Power Hungry Pets is a new, easy to play card game with not a lot to actually remember. In this game, you’ll need to bluff and luck your way to victory. Often we find with Robin’s age (she’s 8 years old) that she gets overwhelmed with card games. There generally is just too much going on and she needs to be in a team, but Power Hungry Pets doesn’t have that issue at all.

[Ad- gifted products] Robin is a fan of anything plush, even if they are on the creepier side. I honestly didn’t think she’d be a fan of Kreepy Katz, but in her own words of “But they are funny cat heads!!” she seems to be a big fan of them. From the creators of Deddy Bears, comes Kreepy Katz – a sort of spooky, cat head themed plushies. There are three types in the current range; 30.5cm large plushie heads, 10cm plushie heads, and blind bag keychain heads.
[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to crafting and drawing, Robin is always looking to do more of it! Though she isn’t the perfect age range for the HeyDoodle mats, I asked them about it and she really wanted to try one out. These silicon mats come with their own set of markers, allowing children to draw and color, then allowing parents to wipe them away so that they can try again.
