Keeping a preschooler entertained all day in a way that's both enjoyable for her and for me isn't always easy.  That's why I love finding games that we can play together which also help her develop new skills.

I've long been a fan of Peaceable Kingdom's Cooperative Games collection because these games allow you to play together with your child instead of compete against them.  Riley and I recently had the chance to review a brand new board game along with a glow-in-the-dark sticker book from Peaceable Kingdom.  Keep reading to learn more!

Spin the spinner and get to stacking in the exciting cooperative game, Stack Up!  Can you stack 12 blocks before the Stack Smasher gets to the tower and topples it?  Spin a color and stack a block.  Spin a challenge and add a tricky task like stacking with one eye closed or while singing Happy Birthday! Spin the Stack Smasher and you're one space closer to the big topple!

Learning color matching and balance are important development skills for young kids, and it's more fun when you're learning those skills together.  Stack Up! fosters cooperation and collaboration with a few fun challenges in the mix.  Cooperative games create non-stressful play situations and encourage creative problem solving.

There are three levels of difficulty to this game, ensuring that it will grow right along with your child's skill set.  Level 1 introduces basic balance and dexterity while young children use their hands, while Level 2 adds in the use of stack sticks and introduces cooperation.  In Level 3, players must really rise to the cooperation challenge because they can only use the stack sticks with foam ends.

This game is very easy to both learn and teach, and within minutes, Riley and I were hard at play, stacking away.  Since she just turned four-years-old, we played the game on Level 2.  I could see the sparkle in her eyes and her enthusiasm jump through the roof when we were able to successfully work together and actually stack a colored block correctly.

With the Glow-In-The-Dark Make-Your-Own Sticker Poster, your kids can create their own wall decor masterpiece.  This book offers 70+ glow-in-the-dark stickers to be placed on a 16 3/8" x 22" size poster.  The really fun part is watching the "glow magic" that happens once the lights go out.  Riley loves everything fairies, so she was beyond thrilled at the opportunity to create something like this poster for her very own room.

The great thing is, there is no right or wrong way to make this poster, so your child will unleash their creative juices and have fun with it!  The only downside to this activity was that Riley was finished with it in about 15 minutes.

This delightful cooperative board game and sticker activity book from Peaceable Kingdom offer non-stressful play situations, promote self-esteem, offer a sense of community and initiate problem solving.  I highly recommend both the Stack Up! game and Make-Your-Own Sticker Poster Book for your little one.  Now, you won't have to worry about children fighting or getting hurt feelings while playing a game because with the cooperative games collection from Peaceable Kingdom, everyone's a winner!
