Each issue of Playful Picks includes links to projects and articles, and sometimes a peek at what we’re currently reading or creative products we love. I’ll also be linking to one or two past posts at Let’s Explore – after 4+ years of blogging, the archives are getting deep around here!
Happy playing!

Our girls often find a small game tucked in their stockings each year. Here are some of our tried-and-true favorites, small enough to fit inside a stocking:
- Spot-It
- Bananagrams
- Rory’s Story Cubes and Action Cubes
- Five Crowns
- Animal Yahtzee
- Blink
- Speedeebee!
