Nex Playground - Active Play System for Kids
This game is ideal for little girls. Great for 1 or 2 players, and so simple for young gamers. We’ve also found it easy to use for a young adult with a disability, as it isn’t quite as complex as some other Nintendo Switch games. Highly recommend!
Barbie Project Friendship - Nintendo Switch
One of our most played items! They love the new Mario Kart—especially the free world option! I love that we can all play as a family.
