Apples to Apples Junior

Apples to Apples Junior

We featured the original Apples to Apples game in the past, but the somewhat new Apples to Apples Junior is a great game for younger kids – down to nine year-olds. Older kids and adults will still love it – a lot of the joy in the game is in the gamesmanship and players, and that hasn’t changed. The Red Apples and Green Apples cards are just a little easier to manage for younger players. This one is a favorite!

BuckyBalls

BuckyBalls are an amazing new toy made of strongly magnetic balls. It sounds kinda strange, but they are immensely addictive, and really fun to play with. Get a few sets, and see what kind of design you can make!

Please note that you should use these with small children, not only are they super strong magnets, but they are also choking hazards. And swallowing magnets is a really, really bad idea. Yeah, definitely keep these away from kids! But for fun, intelligent, unique play with old kids it’s hard to beat BuckyBalls.
