I love playing with my kids, but I also don’t like playing with my kids…you know? This is my list of things I like to do with my kids when I don’t always feel like playing make believe dinosaurs or Barbie’s.
Airtoobz is an awesome STEM like toy where the kids can put together the tubes how ever they want and the air machine blows the soft balls through! They love to create new tracks and watch the balls fly through the room.
Target
LOVE kinetic sand. My son will play independently for hours with this stuff. The molds are awesome, it vacuums up easily too if some spills.
Fleet Farm

Best Marble Runs
A classic. We love board games as a family and this is one of our favorites. It’s great for many ages of kids!
Hasbro Gaming Trouble Kids Board Game

Air Dry Clay
These are great for ANY age of kid (well 3+ maybe) but my kids play with these all the time still and we’ve had them for years.
MAGNA-TILES - Walmart.com
Love active kids and this is games and fitness in one. Great for multiple ages
