It's all fun and games!

I came up with this fun solution to a problem we were having. We have too many people in our family for the traditional 4 person game pieces that come with most games. Along with having too many people, there was also the issue of too many people wanting the same color game piece. Welcome Squinkies!!! That's right, those little rubbery, cute, perfectly sized toys that are all the rage right now.

 These little guys are just the right size for almost all of our games. Each kid gets to pick a Squinkie and use it for that game. We throw them all back in a glass jar for safe keeping. I bought a set of 16, so we have plenty of pieces for everyone to play the game. The kids love this solution, and so do I!

So, if you lost your game markers, you have a big family, or you just want really cute game pieces, go buy some Squinkies!
