If you have multiple children then you have probably heard the whining and crying of the younger child who just isn’t able to play board games with his or her older siblings. I get the frustration they feel because the board games are too advanced for them to understand or play along with. But there are some great board games for preschoolers now, games that older siblings can play along with too.

We have a good-sized collection of games for our family. I say family in particular because Hubby and I have had a few of them since before we had kids.
I always feel good about buying games over toys because they’re something that we can do together as a family quite often, and they are great for those days when I don’t want to do school lessons.
Board games are great for practicing math and reading skills.
