Zimbbos (Blue Orange Games, $30)
Like Jenga for little ones, this all-wooden non-toxic game will have your kids teetering on the edge of a giggle fit! A roll of the die tells you how to make your move, or throw away the rules and stack and create with a friend. A great way to teach kids how to be gentle and, because the elephants are numbered, it also helps with counting and colours. Parents, grab a pair of headphones because this one can get a little noisy. —SP
