Free time reading and learning games are essential for kids. Books and games stimulate intellectual curiosity, improve critical thinking skills, and enhance cognitive development. These activities foster a love for learning, expand vocabulary, and promote problem-solving abilities, all while making education enjoyable and empowering children to become lifelong learners.

There is a LOT to choose from. 

Research has made connections between mental health and reading and learning games. Read the research by clicking on the box. 

Logic games, crosswords, soduku, and other puzzle games help improve critical thinking and attention.Art and physical activity have well researched benefits too. 

Once kids are at a certain age, there is the difficult task of sorting through which books and games are appropriate. Sure they can spend hours quietly playing games or reading, but should they read it? 

​We are not here to tell you what to do. Some kids will find a way to see or read things that make some uneasy (hello youtube or Tik Tok) at school or late at night before you have a chance to recycle that forgotton old laptop without parental controls.

Great books and great games can supercede the desire to go looking. They can spark curiousity and the desire to learn more. We believe every kid has a hidden spark and exposure to all the different things can unleash a limitless potential and lifelong learning. 

This section is dedicated to books and games we've tried. We scour thrift stores and thrfitbooks.com, the library, all the lists, and constantly ask friends and family for new ideas.
