With six kiddos in the house who are constantly wanting something fun to do, I am always on the lookout for games and activities that we can play and do together. The games that jump out at me are those that teach or train some area of the mind or body.

The Parent Bloggers Network introduced my family to Rapido, from the Discovery Channel Store. With Rapido you think fast, and move even faster, as you collect colored bamboo marbles to match a special pattern. My kiddos have not only had so much fun picking up the marbles with their bamboo tubes, but they’re building color and pattern recognition skills, too!
