They're fun to play as a family when kids are just reaching the game playing age, and easy enough for kids to play independently with a sibling or friend once they know the rules/get a little older. My 4 and 6 year old still love these. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-gift-for-3-year-old#post-2847516 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 17:53:24 +0000 wrkbrk 2847516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raspberry: @Alba4: Thank you both!
