Board games all have a purpose, but there are some true educational board games out there. They work on reading, math skills, colors, etc. Here is a great list and gift guide for you for some of those board games!
In the past, I have given you guys good ideas for toddler board games and toddler card games. Pretty much any card game for toddlers or board game for toddlers is educational. But once kiddos get older and start to read and do math problems, you can definitely find educational board games!
