Science has taken the toy industry by storm over the last few years, but fostering kids’ MESH (Mental, Emotional, and Social Health) skills is just as essential. In its latest releases, ThinkFun gives kids a new way to develop their cognitive tools while letting their imaginations run wild.
Known for creating challenging family brain games, ThinkFun’s new series of board games is geared toward the youngest members of the pack: preschoolers. Titled ThinkFun Friends, this collection encourages kids’ cognitive, mental, and emotional skills as they play with lovable animal characters. The series’ first three games are out now, concentrating on problem-solving, focus, and creative thinking.
Since ThinkFun was founded 40 years ago, we’ve never stopped innovating when it comes to our mission to teach through play by creating products that naturally inspire learning and spark creativity. ThinkFun Friends continues that mission, by engaging kids through our first ongoing series featuring original animal characters in a growing world they can revisit again and again.”
Each game revolves around a different ThinkFun Friend and their unique Superpower Thinking Skill. ThinkFun Friends: Treehouse centers on the Flora Frog, who teaches players to slow down and take turns as they match tokens. Whether practicing perseverance with Peter Pig’s pool puzzle or finding Tia Tiger’s play date pals with focus, kids will build important lifelong skills while having fun as a family.
