Mommy and Me Game day with Mattel

Preschoolers have fun playing games too!  It's a great age to start to teach them to play games and a great to start family game night!



We were fortunate to get to test out a bunch of games from Mattel that were perfect for preschoolers.
While playing our games, we learned the importance of how they can help our kids learn.

5 important concepts that playing board games can teach children.

1. Taking Turns and Having Patience

2. Playing Fair

3. Reasoning and Strategy Skills

4. Good Sportsmanship

5. Friendships and Working Together”


Setting up the games was fun, as most of the games were new to all the moms, not just the kids!

Uno Mooo!, a twist on the classic Uno! game was a lot of fun.  The kids loved the little animals and the fun little farm!

They also loved the Chipmunk Chompers Game™!  This game was so great for early literacy as well as fun!  The cute little chimpunks, adorable tree and acorns made learning letters and a great start to spelling fun!

The moms loved learning the games too and had fun playing Parrot Pile-Up™    This one took some patience from everyone as we built up the Parrot's raft with supplies and waited to see who toppled it over!

We had so much fun that we will be having another mommy and me game day soon!

Thank you Mattel!
