Puzzles
Puzzles are a classic mind buster, perfect for hours of entertainment. While this usually is not every child’s first choice, setting additional rules to the puzzle can be more enjoyable. Create a race to finish the puzzle, igniting competition against the clock. Have a prize each time a puzzle is completed for an extra treat!
Baking
