4 Must Have Games to Your Family Entertained For Hours
We complain about children being on their phones, tablets and televisions all of the time but what are we doing to divert their attention elsewhere? Nothing bonds a family more than a good family game and our friends at Pressman toy have four great games to have your family entertained for hours.
Pressman toy has been around since 1922 so you know that they are a trusted name in games. We, like many other families, are looking for games that are going to keep our children entertained. We also want games that our younger ones will learn mobility skills and critical thinking skills. Lastly, we want a game that can bond the whole family together and keep a family with children of different ages entertained. We have a high energy five year old who loves to learn and so we put each of these games to the test and they all passed with flying colours!

Who will be the lucky duck? This wacky, quacky, color matching game is perfect for families! All you have to do is look for the ducks that match your colourful shape and when you find one you keep it! If you collect all three ducks with your shape and colour, you win! This game is for ages 3 plus and can be a great introductory game for your toddler. It can be 2-4 players.

Your young child will learn about shapes, colours and fine motor skills. They will have to learn quick thinking skills and, our favorite, learning how to point out similarities and differences in a fast paced setting. We can’t think of a better game that can do this!
Why we like it
Lucky Ducks is fun for the whole family. Your older child will love rushing through the gaggle of ducks to find the right match while your other child will learn so many skills including how to be a part of an engaging game with the entire family. The ducks are adorable and the bright colours will immediately attract your younger child to sit down, focus and enjoy the game!
LET’S GO FISHIN’

Skills
Pressman toy makes sure to create games that the whole family can play. It is fun and fast paced. As the board spins, your child must strategically place the fishing rod in the fishes opening and closing mouth.

This fast paced game keeps everyone interested from beginning to end! We love how it is the perfect challenge for kids and yet, still fun and filled with excitement. Expect a lot of great times with this game.
POP THE PIG
How to Play
Feed the pig and watch his belly get bigger until he pops! Roll the dice and pick a burger that corresponds with the colour you have rolled. What number is under the burger? Check to see if you have numbers from 1-4. Place the burger into the pig’s mouth and press the chef’s hat as many times as the burger tells you to. The person who “pops the pig’s belly” is the winner!
Skills
Your child ages four and up will learn counting skills and repetition. This game was our child’s favorite! Our little one loved feeding the pig and counting how many times to press the chef’s hat. Affirming colours distinction and decision making are other skills they will learn in this game.
Why we like it
You never know who is going to pop the pig! It is fun for the whole family and us like that it encourages children into making decisions. The pig is very vibrant and engaging so your child will love feeding him.
