This post is sponsored by SimplyFun. One of the biggest challenges for me as a homeschooling mom is finding ways to keep my youngest kids busy during our school hours. At 18 months and 3 years, Felix and Greta are excited to be involved, but aren’t always the best classmates. 

We’re taking a look at Quest Kids: Matching Adventure! An exciting matching game for preschoolers! 

It’s been raining for hours and the ground is starting to get soggy! Noah needs help getting all of the animals into the ark for shelter. But first you’ll have to help them find their suitcases! Can you match all of the animals and get them into the ark before they get complete soaked? 

Growing up, memory games were always some of my most favorite. 

I remember my mother telling me how when I was just a little kid I would play game after game of memory matching against her until she could no longer beat me. To this day, I still love to play them and now have the pleasure of playing them with my own children.

I believe that memory games are not only a fun game to play, but also an incredibly useful educational tool to help young minds learn. So I’m always on the lookout for great ones to add to our shelves, and luckily for my children, the selection is far superior than my glory days of “guess and flip” tiles. 

Now they have games with a working carousel! And yes, it sounds as amazing as you’d think!

Our youngest son, Harry just had his second birthday! 

Two is such a fun age, but I find it to be a little hard to shop for. They’re old enough to want to do all the bigger kid things, but still too young to be able to do them independently. 

I must not be the only one because this is also the age that we hear the most from our readers about what games they should get for their kids. 18 months to 3 years of age is an exciting time as kids begin to show actual interest in new activities and are excited to try new things.

Harry is all about playing games, but sitting still is very hard and he doesn’t have too much of a vocabulary yet. Luckily there are a whole bunch of very fun games for kids in this age group and we wanted to share 8 of our favorite board games for toddlers! Hopefully you find something that is a perfect fit for your favorite little one.
