The games we play - Top 15!

Joy of Play Yash is now all of 8 years. With each passing year, I'm trying new games that can keep him engaged. Being a working mom, I know that it is a bit of a challenge and I usually don't have time for much preparation and planning for materials. I've taken inspiration from various sources over the years and created some of my own. Here are some very popular games with Yash, that we both enjoyed growing up with. 1. I spy with my little eye - Right from when Yash was one and could point with his little finger, we started playing this. I would find something in the surroundings that was easy to locate for a toddler. I would then close my eyes and say 'I spy with my little eye.... A duck' (or whatever is the thing I chose) My little excited toddler would look around, make an effort and point! This was a great game for doctor's waiting rooms, at home, in the car, basically anywhere that we went. And the best part, we continued to play this game for years
