games

We were off doing a bit of driving today - we were aiming for a market at Healesville, which we found out (when we got there) was not on due to a fundraising concert. On our way home we diverted past mum and dad's house. While we were outside looking at our old cubby, my mum stumbled on some old games which are just perfect for Alexander now.

We got Tangram which is just great because he can play it on his own and develop spatial understanding. Such a classic and a challenge for all ages.

Another great ones which was one of my favourites growing up, was The Honey Bee. I love the kitchness of it, the colours and theme are so seventies, but it is a dice game, following rules and taking turns. It is really easy to play and good fun - for 2, 3 or 4 players.

And to entertaint those little monkeys who would NOT sleep today, a big bubble bath with mum who jumped in too!
