Below are just a few of the children’s toys that can make family night your kids’ favorite day of the week.

4 Children’s Toys to Purchase for Family Night

1. LEGO® 

LEGO blocks have given generations of children the power to make anything they can imagine, so what better way to spend family night than building castles, spaceships, or pirate ships? Many LEGO sets are based on popular movies, so if there is a movie LEGO version of your child’s favorite film, consider purchasing it to heighten the fun. 

2. Puzzles

Solving puzzles can bring the family together, and also gives your kids a chance to exercise their minds. In addition to putting together jigsaw puzzles, your child might enjoy more modern twists, like 3D puzzles or sorting games.

3. Arts & Crafts

Kids enjoy creating items, so arts and crafts are a fantastic way to let them express their creativity and build their own skills. Spending a few family nights drawing, painting, sculpting clay, or making jewelry might even spark a lifelong interest in your child.
