KLASK: The Magnetic Award-Winning Party Game of Skill – for Kids and Adults of All Ages That’s Half Foosball, Half Air Hockey
Family game time is so beneficial. “Research has found that making time to play games together supports more effective, open family communication and a greater sense of togetherness. But the benefits of gaming together don’t stop there. Playing games has also proven to help children develop academic skills like mathematical reasoning and reading.” And this game is so much fun your kids won’t even realize it’s good for them, or maybe they will. 🙂
Amazon Review: Super fun game – I stumbled upon this on YouTube and was instantly hooked. Had to get it for the family. It’s been a lot of fun. I would recommend as a gift or for yourself, or a gift for yourself. It’s worth it.
Build quality is nice. I felt it was a perfect size playing area not too big to take up a lot of space on a table and not to small where it feels like your cramped. I have read that the playing area can start to fade over time of playing but people also replace the felt pads underneath the little players piece to help with that. Everything was in the box and it was packaged nicely. No assembly required. Even comes with a little bag for all the pieces when not in use.

Christmas 2024 Gifts for Families – Tech Gifts
Lego Robot Building Set
This toy seems like a fantastic way for the whole family to have fun together while encouraging kids to take a break from their phones. It allows them to engage with technology in a more meaningful way and introduces them to STEM concepts in an enjoyable manner.
Amazon Review: LEGO boost is 80% of the learning at 50% of the cost and 20% of the hassle of LEGO’s fancier Mindstorms product. LEGO Boost compares really well to all other competing robots out there, so if you want your kid to know about coding, robotics, mechanics or technology, it’s a really easy choice.

Christmas 2024 Gifts for Families – Crafty DIY’ers Gifts
Bird House + Camera
I don’t have a particular product in mind, but building a birdhouse as a family DIY project can be both fun and educational. You can make it even more exciting by adding a camera inside, allowing the kids to observe birds up close and see how they behave. It’s a wonderful way to spend time together, encouraging kids to use their hands and imagination while learning about the wildlife right in their own backyard.

Amazon Review: I bought this for my sons 13th birthday. I didn’t know what the weather was going to be like and wanted to have inside games just in case it rained. The kids really enjoyed many of the games – stack dice with chopsticks, stack cups while doing planks, and trying to knock over pyramid of cups with rubber band. There are lots of games to choose from but we only used 5-6 since it was a beautiful day and kids wanted to play basketball and kickball. Thanksgiving is around the corner so we will take this with us to play with family. Happy with my purchase.
