Rory’s Story Cubes are great for kids who have trouble processing to write a story. It is easy and helps prompt them to the process of writing a story from beginning to end.

Logic Links are a great way of helping your kids to solve fun puzzles while trying to begin to think in a logical manner and follow through steps as they are laid out.

Melissa & Doug Shut-the-Box is a great game to practice math skills. Many kids with ADHD have problems with Math. You roll the die and then try to turn down numbers to equal the dice total making you have to think about different combos to make up numbers. It’s a really fun, fast (so they don’t have to pay attention long) and retro game.

Memory Games are great to increase their brain power for remembering things you tell them. I like Simon because it also increases with speed and if your child has a processing disorder this can help with that as well. Here is the pocket edition to carry everywhere or you can purchase it in other sizes as well.

Wok and Roll is a great game for small motor skills you have to chase these little pieces of food around a wok that is jiggling around and you have to use chopsticks. It’s tons of fun!

Pop-Arty Beads are great fun especially for girls to make bracelets and necklaces, but they are wonderful to work on strengthening your hands and fine motor skills.

Magnetics are loved by all kids and they will make your child really start to think logically about how to put things together and build. It will hold their attention for hours as they work to build and rebuild different things.

Legos are a great for kids to build and pull apart. The small pieces are great for tactile and space awareness. They a classic that never goes out of style
