items We don’t like having screen zombies for kids. Here are things that have worked for us that truly entertain them without screens
Absolutely LOVE our Yoto. You can play audiobooks, music, podcasts, and more!

This has been an absolute hit at our house. It’s so cool. No mess and any marker works

We have had so much fun with this game! After playing the original once, I was so thankful to find this family edition to play with the kids 🙈
What Do You Meme? Family Edition, for Ages 8+, Fun Easter Family Game and Easter Basket Stuffers
It can be hard to find good gel pens. So often the ink doesn’t flow or seem “gell-y” enough. There are so many colors in this kit, including solid and glittery options. I love these pens and they keep the kids entertained for hours.
120 Pack ZSCM Glitter Gel Pens, 60 Colors + 60 Refills
If your kids are like mine, it can be near impossible to pull conversation out of them. These cards have been a game changer for family dinners, riding in the car or just hanging out. Thought provoking questions and sometimes the answers they come up...

Probably the coolest ride on toy invented! Pushing of the feet back and forth makes it go AND steer. My kids love these!
EzyRoller Classic Ride On Scooter for Kids Ages 3+
These markers are really fantastic. They remind me of watercolors but in marker form. In 80 shades?! We love them!
Alcohol Markers 80 Dual Tip Permanent Art
Screen free for the adults. I hung these to create our “landline”. Phones stay here unless we have a legitimate short term reason to pull them out and use them. They serve their purpose and look good doing it
Set of 2 Clear Wall Mounted Storage Bins
Tape one of these to the counter and set the kids loose. They have so much fun coloring these!
10 Pieces Kids Drawing Roll, 12x39 in
TECHNICALLY uses a screen. BUT this keeps the kids active and engaged playing with each other. It’s so much better than sitting round with a screen 5 inches from their faces and disengaging from the world.
Nex Playground - Active Indoor Play System
This is amazing! So great for keeping the family engaged and connected. Great as a game but also intermittently pulling out a convo card just for conversation in a random moment.
