Doesn’t it just sound like a ton of fun to work at a toy company? In 2007, Jacobe Chrisman, Founder & CEO, of Wonder Forge started his company with a small but creative group interested in making top-quality experiences and games for kids and families. Today Wonder Forge makes over 100 games that have won more than 200 of the industry’s top awards for product excellence. They are sold nationwide and in 16 countries and counting. Sounds like the idea was a success!
My husband has always loved a good board game and has fond memories growing up playing games with his mom. My boys definitely have picked up this trait as well, because they are forever pulling a game out of our gaming closet and gathering everyone around the coffee table to play. Out of the whole year though, the holidays are when we do this most often. There is just something about staying in your jammies and snuggling by the fire place to play games with the whole family that make the holidays special.
Here’s a few games and toys that will be sure to be a hit this holiday with your family

Finding games and books are by far my boys favourites! As soon as I saw this Star Wars hidden picture game from Wonder Forge I knew we had a hit on our hands, it completely merches two of their favourite things!
Blast off on a location-hopping adventure through the Star Wars galaxy, from Tatooine and the Death Star, to Jakku and more! Search the galaxy for over a thousand characters, starships, Droids, and artifacts in a quest to find R2-D2!

Make your little Jedi giggle with these funny Star Wars Jokes!
[easyazon_link keywords=”Buggaloop” locale=”CA” localize=”y” tag=”momvstheboy-20″]Buggaloop[/easyazon_link]
Look out! There’s a HEXBUG in the yard and it’s coming after you! Players take turns rolling the die and moving their bugs peacefully across the yard, until the HEXBUG emerges from the tunnel and tries to bump them off. Stay standing and continue down your path – get bumped and you’ll have to start from the beginning again! The first player to transport all of their bugs to safety wins this surprising buggy scramble!
My boys are already huge fans of HEXBUGS so I was super excited to see that Ravensburger had the idea to turn them into a game! It’s a brilliant idea!
- Geared for ages 6 and up
- Includes climbing action!
- Can be played in short amount of time
- Again only for 2-4 players
