Here’s a sneak preview of my list of board games for three-year-olds. Check out the link in my bio if you want to see all the games. I definitely have more games listed than we will ever be able to play before my son’s fourth birthday so some will have to carry over to my next list, I guess 🤷‍♀️. ** My wish list started out with the popular choices and suggestions from all of you but quickly grew to include the games I picked up second hand. The nice thing about three-year-olds is they don’t always know the difference between the popular choice and the $1 choice. The nice thing about spending $1-5 on a game is you don’t have to feel bad about giving it away if you don’t like it. You can buy games on a budget to get an idea of the types of games your kid likes before spending too much money on the popular ones! ** I did the math (in Excel because I’m an accountant) and I have spent $233 on games and puzzles in the last month or so. It seems like a lot but those games new would have cost $649 plus tax so I feel pretty good about it. It’s still quite a bit of money so I would have cut myself off if my husband hadn’t done it first 😂. ** #toddlergames #toddlergaming #toddlersofinstagram #kidsboardgames #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamesforkids #gameschooling #kidsgames #toddlergaming #tabletopgamesforkids #parenting #childdevelopment #tabletopfamily #boardgamefamily #thriftyfinds #boardgamesonabudget #boardgamerecommendations https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZVh4Sh-0n/?igshid=1lam18uovdtsd

New game storage in the front room that we set up on Monday! Before that, all my son’s games were stored in the basement with ours. I find that my toddler is much more likely to choose a game or puzzle over TV or some other toy if they are visible and at his eye level. He was so excited to come home to find all his games in one place! He gave daddy all the credit but that’s fine since @familyfantasy_rpg was cooking us a tasty dinner while I made room for the shelf 😂 ** I have 11 more kid games (plus a twelfth one for me) on hold to pick up this weekend from a guy whose hobby is to scour garage sales for games every weekend so we will see if all our toddler games still fit on this tiny shelf next week🤞 ** #toddlergames #toddlergaming #toddlersofinstagram #kidsboardgames #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamesforkids #gameschooling #kidsgames #toddlergaming #tabletopgamesforkids #parenting #childdevelopment #tabletopfamily #boardgamefamily #shelfie https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXci35hIR3/?igshid=7i969yneiudq

Donation details and board game update: ** For those of you that missed my video update yesterday, see the second photo of this series for a synopsis! All relevant links are in my Linktree listing. @thedndmom @familyfantasy_rpg @savethechildren ** The third and fourth photos show the games and puzzles that I just bought yesterday at @jbfaurora. I have never been motivated to go to this huge second hand sale before. I’d typically rather stay out of big stores/sales even in years past but I saw a sneak peak video of the game section and couldn’t stay away. Armed with a face shield, a mask, and a pocketful of hand sanitizer, I made my way in and came out with 14 new-to-us games and puzzles for a total of $76.86! Don’t mind my messy hair in the first photo, it’s hot under all that protective gear! The third and fourth photos show my haul! ** I’m super excited to try them out with my three-year-old! ** #toddlergames #toddlergaming #toddlersofinstagram #kidsboardgames #boardgames #boardgamesofinstagram #boardgamesforkids #gameschooling #kidsgames #toddlergaming #dndforkids #tabletopgamesforkids #tabletoprpg #parenting #childdevelopment #parentingblogger #tabletopfamily #geekparenting #growingup #nerdlife #geekparenting #dndmom #charity #charityevent #savethechildren https://www.instagram.com/p/CD1S-QSBS5w/?igshid=up8zs7i9w84y

I just love this (not my image). ** We have been watching a lot of Dora the Explorer recently and this morning my toddler led me on a full-fledged adventure based on the most recent episode we watched. ** Dora is a great way to introduce your kids to maps and adventures, which are both integral parts of any tabletop RPG. ** My three-year-old was so excited to lead the way on the adventure in which we had to find a boat and row over a river, hop like frogs on stepping stones across the mud, and find our ball at the volcano (but watch out, that volcano is about to explode!). ** My toddler calls the show “Dora’s ventures” (Dora’s Adventures). It’s available on Prime Video. ** Image credit: https://mainmanchay.wordpress.com/2012/08/15/how-a-dd-player-would-deconstruct-1/amp/ ** #toddlergames #toddlergaming #toddlersofinstagram #gameschooling #kidsgames #toddlergaming #dndforkids #tabletopgamesforkids #tabletoprpg #parenting #childdevelopment #parentingblogger #tabletopfamily #geekparenting #growingup #nerdlife #geekparenting #doratheexplorer #swipernoswiping https://www.instagram.com/p/CDy530bBGC0/?igshid=5pm8pbbh7nu6

Ever thought about getting your young kids started playing tabletop RPGs but decided they aren’t quite old enough? The kiddo in this photo is barely three years old and he is THRIVING in his first ever campaign. See my most recent blog post about how to get started.

When you cannot actually interact with your local librarians due to a pandemic but want to show your appreciation somehow.

My toddler pulled off each button and dropped it into the chute by itself after I meticulously attached one to each book we were returning 🤷‍♀️
