[Ad – Gifted Products] We have a tradition of playing with board games every other Monday, at our local Geek Retreat, where we find ourselves spending some wind-down after the first school and work day of the week. We’ve been exploring a bunch of the Dogman board games, so went on to play Dogman 20,000 Fleas Under the Sea as Robin is such a big Dogman fan! We often feel that getting the board games that contain these book characters really encourages reading in our household.

[Ad – Gifted Products] Robin has been toying around with her Yoto Mini for quite some time now as she really does like having this little music device, that’s got a few games cards too, which she can take along with her anywhere. We spent a lot of time out of the house and find that Robin will pack a few toys with her for wherever we go, and if she’s in a music mood, the Yoto Mini is in tow! Recently, Yoto the Art of Loving by Olivia Dean was released, and though this was an artist that we had not heard many songs from, Robin was excited to have a new card!

[Ad – Gifted Products] We play a board game or card game every other Monday, while at Geek Retreat! This little afterschool tradition has become such a fun part of our Monday. This time, we played Fuzzballs Pizza Thief Card Game – which is a very interesting, more complex than normal game. Fuzzballs are these adorable cat characters, which Robin has a few toys of. They are quirky, silly, and often eating pizza. In this card game, you are actually planning a pizza party for them but need to make sure they have the perfect amount of pizza.

[Ad – Gifted Products] Every Monday we go to Geek Retreat and play a new board game! This time, we played another Dog Man game – Dog Man: Big Jim Begins Dice Game. Unlike Dog Man: The Card Game, this game is all about rolling dice! Dog Man, if you didn’t know, is a very popular book character, who’s had a number of board games and even a movie. Robin absolutely loves reading Dog Man books, and so we always keep an eye out for board games and card games that match. Dog Man: Big Jim Begins Dice Game is a simple, children’s game all about rolling dice and spending them.

[Ad – Gifted Product] We keep seeing more and more of these sort of open coloring books, that can be for anyone from children to adults. They have become a sort of wind-down, mindfulness activity that can keep your hands and mind busy. I’ve seen them in several different themes, all of which feel quite cozy when you color them! The Heartwarming Love Coloring Book is one of these such books, with tons of pages that you can color in!
