I was recently blessed to work with a really fun company, called The Wonder Forge. (How fun is that name, LOL)
The Wonder Forge has fabulous games, great for spending time together as a family. With winter having set in and making many outdoor activities an impossibility for the next few months, now is a great time to find some great games to play and keep the little ones entertained during those long, cold winter nights! (And a great gift idea, too!)

The Wonder Forge has a wonderfully wide selection of games, as well. I loved their variety- they had games that I had never seen before. They have a fantastic selection of games they call “I Can Do That!” games for Preschoolers– what a great idea! Nice way to break it down for parents. And you know I love it when kids can learn while being entertained! What’s better then that?

Little Man and Kamikaze had a blast with them! We were sent a few of these Award Winning Games- including “What’s In the Cat’s Hat?”, an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Best Toy Award Platinum winner.

The way it works (in short) is that you put a “secret” object into the Cat’s Hat, and the players take turns guessing what is inside by using their 5 senses (but not seeing the whole object) and by asking questions on the game cards. When there are no cards left, the person who put the object into the hat is the winner. If someone guesses before that, they are the winner.
The kids really enjoyed it.
We also got to try out Little Man’s favorite, the “Chuggington Matching Game“! C’mon, you know your little conductor would love it, LOL.

This one is simple- you flip the cards over so they all show the same red back.

Then you need to pay attention so that you can remember where the cards are, and make matches! Remember to adjust the number of cards you play with for the age of your players. Use less cards for younger players, to avoid frustration and increase concentration skills. (I am SO taking this to the Pre-k!)
Last, but not least, comes Konexi- the gravity defying word game. This one won the Oppenheim Gold Best Toy Award. It was too advanced for Little Man, but Kamikaze is old enough where she can begin to grasp the concept.

“Konexi is the 3D word-building game that will have you pushing your luck and on the edge of your seat! Take turns adding letters to a teetering tower of words. Go for longer words — upward, downward, or sideways — to score more points. But watch out…the next letter may cause gravity to kick in and a Konexi collapse! It’s thrilling fun for the whole family!”

Available now in specialty stores and at Barnes & Noble.

The games at The Wonder Forge have won a bevvy of awards– here are a few, just so you know I’m not kidding when I say they have only the very best for your child!

Impressive, no?
Take a wander on over- they have so many games to see, you will be sure to find something you love. And you can follow them on Twitter and FaceBook to stay on top of all the best Wonder Forge news- I know I am, I don’t want to miss out!
Happy Gaming, all!
