मुलांसाठी खेळणी /गेम्स इत्यादी

blokus, लेगो ब्लॉक्स, डोमिनोज, स्क्रॅबल , मोनोपॉली, scene it वगैरे बोर्ड गेम्स , शिवाय जिग सॉ पझ्झल्स .

माझ्या मुलांना टपरवेअरचेकिंवा चायनीझ टेकाउटचे डबे, प्लास्टिकचे पेले वाट्या चमचे असल्या गोष्टी एकदम फेवरिट होत्या.

या वयात मोठी , सहजी तोंडात घालता येणार नाहीत, टोकदार कंगोरे नसलेली, रंग न जाणारी,फारसा आवाज न करणारी खेळणी घ्यावीत.

अलिकडेच किंडरगार्टन पासून ५वी -६वीपर्यंतच्या मुलांसाठी खालील साइट्स कळल्यात .
