[Ad – Gifted Products] The weather has been fantastic, there has been very little rain, so it’s time to check out some toys that encourage outdoor play without their phones! The Terra Kids Connectors – Construction Set Figures is a fantastic mix of plastic pieces, corks and thin wooden rods, along with a tool to make holes in your sticks to create your creatures. Robin started off by taking a little walk around our local pond, picking up all sorts of thick sticks along the way. She gathered up so many options – which turns out was very good – as having options always does help.

[Ad – Gifted Products] Every other Monday, we find ourselves at our local Geek Retreat playing a board game afterschool. This little tradition always brings a lot of fun to the boring, back-to-school feeling Mondays. This week, we played Boba Bonanza! This is one of those vibrant, bright, fast-paced card games that have a lot of chaos! You need to make sure your family members have the same sort of vibe going into it, as there is a lot of scrambling to be done.

[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!
