Board games make some of the best Christmas or birthday gifts. They can be played over and over again, and they help create fun family memories. My husband and I have been playing board games with our kids since they were very young, and while the games and strategy have changed, the fun has not. We have played our fair share of games over the years, and I certainly have my favorites. To make your holiday shopping easier, I have assembled a list of the Best Board Games for Kids that I have found. The are organized by age, so you can find something for every kid on your list.

GOT A CRAFTY KID?
The folks at Annie's know crafting, so you know they have put together some amazing kits for your kids.
For girls:
The Creative Girls Club subscription box will get your girl's creative juices flowing. Girls get two kits each month full of crafting fun. Best of all, the crafting can be done with minimal adult supervision. While she is creating, she will be learning valuable skills such as painting, beading, stitching, paper crafting, and much more!
For boys and girls:
These Young Woodworkers Kits have everything your little builder needs to create crafts and toys they can enjoy, while learning important woodworking skills along the way. Your child's first three kits will include 5 kid-sized, high-quality tools they'll use again and again. A new woodworking project is delivered every four weeks, with a new and exciting skill to master. Each project teaches a new, real world skill that kids will use for years to come.
