      These would be a great way to keep the kids busy when traveling or trapped indoors due to weather. I like to keep a shelf just for those occasions and we have a lot of them. When in the car for drives more than 15 minutes these would be perfect to keep them from getting board and arguing. Plus it is fun great stimulation for the brain.
