Until recently, I had not heard of Ta-Ka-Radi. However, now that we have it, we can’t stop playing it. This is a game that is perfect for the family. Ta-Ka-Radi involves players constructing a tower with spaces in-between three chosen tiles per level. After the tower is built, each player takes a turn pulling out a tile from any level and putting it on top.  The only rule is that you can’t touch the other player while they are making their move!  Now, if you are like me and live with an engineer, well, you are at an instant disadvantage!  However, even though I haven’t one yet, we have had a ton of fun playing with this.  This is too hard for Will and Madison to play.  However, they take the wood tiles and built towers with them every day.  They loves these just for their own use too.  Ta-Ka-Radi is made by a family-owned company in Maine. The tiles are made from native Maine hardwoods, and the game is packaged in personalized re-usable tote bags. Ta-Ka-Radi makes a fun and unique gift for the holidays and is great for a lot of family fun!

Ever wanted a game that your kids can grow into? Or would you want a game that will take them years to outgrow?  If you want both of these things, then you definitely need to get your hands on the Ultimate Spinner game.  This game is for kids 4 and up, and I can see us playing with The Ultimate Spinner game for years. This game is 12 games in one!  I know we have been able reinforce a lot of what we are teaching Madison with this game.  They work with the alphabet and numbers.  Some of the more advance things (that we will eventually work toward are the math equations and telling time.  There are rules that come with the games.  However, I love the fact that there are “Considering Tender Hearts” rules.  These rules are for those little ones who don’t have the attention span for an entire game.  There is also enough things in here that they can make up their own games!  I know Madison liked that the best with this!  I also love that the game is very brightly colored and everything is made with good quality material.  For those of us who are worried about foreign products, have no fear.  This game is made here in the United States in Maine by a family company who wanted to provide their grandchildren a game they didn’t have to worry about.

I definitely see this being a top game this Christmas season.  Check it out and you won’t be disappointed.
