Best Black Friday board game deals for kids who love science

Research has shown that play is not just an big part of a child’s development but also their education. Simple yet creative STEM toys such as building blocks are ideal for early development, but for older children (ages 8 and up), more complex games that require following rules, counting spaces and reading playing cards are also excellent ways to help them practice logical problem-solving, literacy and math skills. 

What’s more, there are tons of games that can help inspire your child’s curiosity for STEM topics, from exploring the Periodic Table, to building a planet’s ecosystem or recreating a human cell. Beyond STEM, there are also great games that can help teach your child about the great outdoors, learning the U.S. states and countries of the world.
