Four Games in One Box: This box of games from Ravensburger contains board games for the beginning player. Aimed at young kids building their literacy and social skills, each game can be played with zero reading needed. The bright colors appeal to young kids, while each game focuses on a specific skill, such as matching, counting, and more. With two reversible boards, the box offers four games that grow in complexity as kids age. Be aware, however, that the best source for this set is secondhand, as the company no longer manufactures the original.

Twin Mattress: Everyone needs a place to sleep, and kids are no exception. While parents might not want to bust the budget on a mattress for youngsters still potty-training, this option offers the best value without a high price tag. It will last your child for years to come, and gives them a quality night’s sleep without costing a fortune. Add a mattress protector for even more insurance against the accidents bound to happen with kids. 

Clue Junior: Parents love this spin on the classic board game. Instead of solving a murder case, players collect clues to discover who ate the cake, with which drink, and at what time. Pictorial clue sheets help even the youngest kids eliminate options. And it means more fun with less fuss, since any player can move the brightly colored pawns, eliminating battles over who gets what piece.
