More Fun and Games 

Any guesses about the top three most popular posts in October? No? We will give you a hint. Check out the top posts from July, August, and September. If you haven’t already seen the flexible furniture, affordable mattresses, and fun games, you can’t go wrong according to our readers. But if you want something a bit different, check out the next five most read posts from the month of October.

Four Games in One Box: This popular set of games for the pre-literate crowd makes the list for good reason. These simple board games help kids work on fundamental principles while learning valuable social skills like taking turns. With each game increasing in complexity, kids can build up their abilities while having fun. The only downside? You have to scour secondhand shops to get this game, as Ravensburger no longer makes it.

Clue Junior: This spin on the popular board game frequently makes the list. Thanks to the brightly colored pawns, and rules letting any player move any one of them, kids love playing it. The pictorial clue sheets and dice without numbers make it great for young kids with rudimentary or emerging reading skills. And parents love reminiscing without the murderous overtones.

MyMayu Rain Boots: With the weather changing, more parents want a solid yet comfortable pair of boots for their kids. These MyMayu boots fit the bill and will take kids into spring and beyond. With soft uppers, they fit over a wide range of socks, pants, braces, and more. Laces at the top and on the shoes help them stay put. But if you see a pair, grab them quickly, because the company that makes them no longer exists.

Diono Radian 3RXT Car Seat: Tired of hunting for the safest car seat for your child every year? As they transition from an infant seat to a convertible car seat to a booster, you want a safe seat that won’t bust the budget. Instead of getting three or more seats to do the job, try starting with this versatile car seat from Diono. The 3RXT can take them from birth to school age without the need for any other seat. Plus, the narrow width makes it great for three across in one row situations. And it folds flat for travel and storage.

Mobius Sphere: This rainbow ball puzzle makes a great gift for almost any age. Mix up the colored balls by pushing them into the foam inside the larger sphere. Kids then try to match each of the eleven balls to the same color outer ring to solve the puzzle. It helps keep kids busy while waiting at restaurants, in lines, traveling, or even at home.  Best of all, it makes minimal noise and keeps their hands busy and out of trouble.
