If you’re looking for wholesome ways to keep your kids entertained without having them glued to their devices for hours on end, Komarc Games has plenty of options for the whole family, including new toys like Finger Topz and StickiKubes.
StickiKubes are new for this year, bringing fidget fun to everyone for only $9.99. These crafty cubes can stick to anything (except fabric). They’re made from a customized polymer without adhesive added, so they’re non-toxic and safe for kids ages 4 and up. Kids can use the cubes to make custom 2D and 3D designs, or decorate everyday objects with them, such as cups, glasses, furniture, and more. They come in four colors.
Finger Topz are a new twist on finger painting, recommended for kids ages 4 and up. For $14.99, each set comes with eight stamp designs; two soft, foam brushes; eight paint colors; five color paper squares; a water tray; and a lid that converts into a palette for mess-free play.
In addition to these new items, Komarc Games also offers plenty of other family-friendly games, including Tummple and Tummple Mix, a variation on Jenga. Kids ages 8 and up can play solo or in groups to form structures up, down, sideways, and every way from wood and acrylic pieces. Both games are priced at $21.99, but Tummple Mix makes the game a bit more challenging with pieces in three different sizes and colors.
In Shoppin’ Blowout, players can race to grab items faster than everyone else and place them in their palm-size shopping cart. Some items are worth more than others, so when there are no items left to grab, everyone will calculate how many points are in their cart. The game is suitable for kids ages 8 and up, and for $29.99, it comes with a traditional gameboard, products, cards, and a digital Shoppin’ Product Selector app.
Majibu Ring will test kids hand-eye coordination with four sets of colored rings, a rubber ball, and a post, all of which are glow-in-the-dark. Kids can toss the rings on the post, playing solo or in groups. The game is suitable for kids ages 8 and up, and each set is $15.99.
In Face the Mountain, kids can test their balancing skills by lifting a long row of “rocks” up and down the mountain, but there’s nothing holding the rocks together so kids need to apply just the right amount of pressure and dexterity. The game is designed for kids ages 8 and up, and is available for $29.99.
Smack the Snack on Jack is a “throwing and flinging game” in which kids can throw sticky “snacks” as fast as they can during timed rounds. Each target area is assigned a designated number of points. There is an app to tally points automatically, or kids can use the hourglass for non-app play. Designed for kids ages 8 and up, the game is available for $21.99.
These games are available at specialty toy stores and specialty chains, such as Hallmark and Barnes & Noble.
