Review: Color Catch Smart Game
The Color Catch Smart Game was the perfect choice to take along on our camping trip this past weekend. Why? Because it features bugs and creepy-crawlies, of course! (But no snakes. I don't do snakes.)
Review: The Genius Square Game
The Genius Square is a game I'll be keeping handy this summer to play on the front porch for a quick and relaxing challenge. Check out my review.
Review: Postman Observation Game
Did you ever try to play a board game with a 3-year-old? Were you just bored out of your mind with the banality of it? Or did you let them win? Today I’m sharing my thoughts on the Postman Observation game sent to me by Timberdoodle in exchange for my review. It is appropriate for ages 3-103. At least, that’s…
Review: You Can Draw It in Just 30 Minutes
Remember the acrylic painting kit I reviewed a few weeks ago? I mentioned we had been dabbling with different mediums in art. Today’s review focuses on pencil sketching.

For that reason I was…

I have three reviews for you today to coincide with the release of Timberdoodle’s 2020-2021 Curriculum…
Review: Cat Crimes Game
Oh, no! A Crime has been committed! Someone has ruined my good red dress shoes! “How is that a crime?” you might ask. Good point. Ruining shoes is not against the law, that I know of. But play along with me. It’s just a game, after all. Didn’t I mention that? Well, it is. Cat Crimes I need your help…

If you're looking for something new and different for a Christmas game, GridBlock might fit the bill.
Review: ChromaCube
