Editor’s Pick: WuzzIts

Winter weather is coming, bringing with it closed doors and windows . . . and much less outside play time for the kids. Providing kids with wholesome, non-screen recreation during this time can be a challenge, but as my kids have grown, they have really started to enjoy board and card games. There are many great games for preschoolers, but I found that a whole new world of word play, strategies, and healthy competition opened up to my kids once they learned to read. Our newest favorite is WuzzIts, from Blue Orange Games, the makers of Spot it! (one of those great preschool games). It’s a monster match up game recommended for players ages 6 and up that attracts kids (even my middle schooler) with its bright colors and silly characters, and keeps them playing with endless mix and match possibilities.

Find WuzzIts at Kazoodles Toys in Cascade Park.

Here’s how to play, from the makers themselves:
