[Ad- gifted product] We have a large card game and board game collection at our home, mainly because Dann and I have always played board games! Often, these types of games only really the two oldest children or the youngest child, but rarely is there a game simple enough to keep Robin’s attention but engaging enough to keep Amelia and Kai playing with her! We had high hopes when we got Ahoy There!, a card game from the makers of Pop Up Pirate.
[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to subscriptions, we have tried out a variety of different subscription boxes, but sometimes it’s nice to get a Magazine that can be flipped through and enjoyed. If that magazine comes with a bunch of really cool toys too, that’s a huge bonus! GirlTalk is a girl focused magazine for teens and tweens, that comes with a bunch of different toys on he front. They have plenty of copies at our local Tesco, but can be purchased online and subscribed too as well.

[Ad- gifted products] Ever since we were first introduced to Cats vs Pickles, our household has loved finding these creatures out and about. Amelia is the biggest collector of the series, who has tons of the tiny plushies, the large plushies, a few of the figures, and often watches some of the Youtube videos associated with the cute and funny characters. If you are new to Cats vs Pickles, it is based on the concept that cats are afraid of pickles (or well, cucumbers), and so these characters include a bunch of quirky cats AND pickles!

[Ad- gifted products – updated January 8th, to add more toys.] When it comes to schooling, it is often hard to get children excited about education. Especially, when it comes to the age group known as tweens – we are talking 10 to 13 year olds, really. We have found that having toys and activities that have an educational spin on them, while not being directly learning, have kept Kai, our tween, more interested in spending his time doing educational. We have played with loads of educational toys, and found that there are tons out there to choose from.
Specifically, Uncle Wickes have a huge selection of toys, wither you are looking for toys for a picky teenage boy or looking to find something interesting to keep your kids away from the screen, there are many educational options. We have picked out the best educational toys for tweens, in hopes of helping you keep your child interested in education.
