6-9 year olds enjoy play that requires strategy and skill.  They seek out new information and experiences through play and enjoy science, craft and magic.

  

Another classic children will love: 48 assorted marbles, 2 large shooters and a 20 page handbook all store in a retro toy tin. Made in USA by Channel Craft.

  Enjoy putting together illustrator Donna Ingemanson's fantasy view of a castle, king, wizard, princess, owl, dragon, and of course, the knight in shining armor on his destrier--that's a horse for jousting, by the way. Heraldry and secret symbols form a border around the scene.

The Knights jigsaw puzzle's 100 pieces are stored in an irresistible hinged storage tin. It's sturdy, but we're not sure that it is fiery dragon breath-proof.

 Whoever said that learning about U.S. geography had to be boring must not have read The Scrambled States of America. We fell head-over-heels for Laurie Keller's hilarious story and knew that it had the making for a great game. As with her book, we hope our game provides a fun way to enrich basic knowledge of U.S. geography. Players learn the names, capitals, nicknames, shapes and positions of the states through a myriad of visual teasers, language riddles and geography challenges. After playing, you'll see that there's more to the 50 States than meets the eye!
