Life skills games for preschoolers: planning, manners, money and helping

Some of the most useful things children learn aren’t school subjects: packing what you need before what you want, saying please and thank you, waiting for something better, and knowing who helps when something goes wrong.

The adventure planner gets a trip ready with a friendly guide, needs first and toys only if there is room. Meal time has Bo the bear get table manners wrong so your child can fix them. Helper Town sends the right helper from the right station, the warehouse earns coins to save and spend, and the garden rewards waiting for a bigger reward.
