LeapFrog Clickstart Dora the Explorer

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: LeapFrog


My daughter really struggled with Clickstart at first. We bought it for her third birthday and she couldn't cope with the mouse but she loves Dora and after using it for about 10 minutes over two occasions she is now finding it easy. Her understanding of letters etc has improved already.

Winning Moves - The Simpsons Board Game

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Winning Moves


I bought this game for my 11 year old son who loves the Simpsons, after reading a review on Amazon. We were not disappointed! The game is fast moving,taking you from one sub game to another with the roll of a dice. Moe's karaoke tavern is the most entertaining, gargling the national anthem reduced us all to hysterics. If you enjoy a fast paced game with loads of fun added in, this game is for you.

Memoir '44

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Days of Wonder


I bought this after having played strategy games on the PC for some time.

The game is a fantastic introduction to new gamers.

My daughter and I play a scenario very often and there are loads of new scenarios on the Days of Wonder website.

It's packaged well and the quality is good, although I do see the board will eventually have limited life which is why I gave it 3 for durability.

Education wise, it got 3 stars also because it does give you some info on the scenarios supplied, hence educating the user...but it isn't an "educational" tool

If you want to introduce one of your family or friends to the world of board gaming, this is the one.

Risk Express

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Family Games
from: Hasbro


Whether you're in for a long flight/lay-over or you just want to kill 20 minutes or so with your friend(s) or family, this little box of dice-goodness is small enough to be on-hand and ready for action within seconds. It's a great toy, liked by all and hated by none.

While its not particularly educational, I suppose as an introduction to statistics, risk taking and geography it might have a educational role for some. I'd not play it for these reasons of course. I play it because its fun.

Deluxe Tri-ominos in a Tin

This game is good for all the family and makes you use your brain so educational as well. We play a lot but I would like to know where I can buy the stands to stand the pieces on as they are not included in the tin.
