Welcome to the Top Ten Holiday Lists gift guides as we share with you our favorite books, games, building toys, pretend play toys, crafting supplies/kits, and non-food stocking stuffers! Each participating blog will create their own list each week for each of the categories so be sure to see what everyone has to offer (the list is at the end of this post!) Happy reading!

When I was a kid the only board games options were Candy Land and Chutes & Ladders. (Am I showing my age here?!) Now there are a variety of games for the pre-reading crowd. Here's some you and your little one might enjoy. (Disclaimer: I don't promise you will still enjoy the game after playing it 300 times!)
This large and colorful floor puzzle is a fun way to work on alphabet recognition too! |
I love the distinct colors on this one, making it a little easier for those new to puzzle solving to find the pieces that go together. |
That classic game for preschoolers. |
The Uno game adapted to the preschooler set, with farm animals for an additional "cuteness" factor! |
This game encourages you to guest which snail will win the race! |
Preschoolers will love this silly game! (I love the name!) |
This game was invented by a child - really! Adorable insects and introduction to early math concepts. |
The game board is the packaging so no need to worry about losing it! This game helps with sorting, hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. |
Counting and color matching are honed with this frog-feeding game. |
This game is a great way to work on fine motor skills - and it's just fun too! |
