Jenga

Title JENGA with 3 photos of Mikey, holding the game, playing the game and smiling.
My turn, your turn. Just take one out and put it on top.

Jenga is relatively easy to model.  You take a piece out and place it on top.  You do it, then your child can try.

journal entry from Wednesday, September 17, 2014. 'After dinner, I played Jenga with my mom."
You can tell Mikey loved this game from the grin on his face!

It’s simple and fun.  Mikey especially loved it when the tower fell over.  That made it stress-free for us, so we played it often.
