Activities
On nights when kids don't have as much homework, or over the weekend, sometimes it's nice to have "something else to do." We would love to collect some games, movies, puzzles, or other activities to keep them busy. Many of these games are very educational as well! (A few of these games, like Uno and Phase 10 we do already own, but cards wear out quicker than some other things!) Again, this is just a starting point. I'm open to other suggestions. Items in blue are things we have received!
