We have all been waiting for spring to get here, so that we could say goodbye to the cold, snowy winter. But, many of us forgot that with spring comes the rain. While I love falling asleep to rain falling on the roof, or waking and smelling the air after a rain storm, having your kids ask what they can do as they are bored is not fun, especially when it rains for a few days straight. I guess it is a little give and take in April -- April showers bring May flowers -- and oh how the flowers look pretty when they are in bloom. I am seeing many of perennials trying to peak out of the ground after the cold winter, and I know the wet weather is what they have been looking for.
Thanks to the folks at TCG Toys, they have been the past week and half a little easier, when it comes to entertaining my girls, as we were sent a fun "Springtime Box" that included the classic checkers game, a fun spring-themed puzzle, and even a yo-yo, for the girls to enjoy. Read on, as I also have a 'Springtime Box" that included the three TCG Toys just mentioned, for one lucky Inspired by Savannah reader to win.
My girls were all excited when they opened the box from TCG Toys the other day, and couldn't wait to dump the puzzle pieces out on the dining room table and work on, as it was raining cats and dogs outside, and they knew they were stuck indoors for the day.

I don't know about you, but I love working on puzzles. Growing up, my mom would always have a puzzle going at the puzzle table. You could stop by and place a piece or two, or sit down for hours and try and finish it. And, whenever it rained out, or was too cold to be outside, my family always found our way to the puzzle table, to work on it together. Ahh, the good 'ole days. :-)
I have continued the tradition of having a puzzle going, just for times like last week, when I knew the girls would be coming to me to ask what they could do. You know it is only a few months into the new year, and they are already tired with toys that Santa brought. Go figure! But, they never get tired of puzzles and trying to put them together, especially if they are lucky enough to place the last piece.
The girls ended up completing the Manors & Cottage 1000 piece puzzle we were sent from TCG Toys in a couple hours, and then moved on to playing a few games of checkers before dinner. And, then after dinner, they had a rematch before getting my husband and I to play a few games.

As far as the Yo-Yo Classic which was sent, I was hoping to snatch it up and keep it for myself, as I loved playing with my yo-yo as a kid, and still remember how to do a few yo-yo tricks.
"YO-YO® Classic is a traditional wooden YO-YO® perfect for beginners of all ages! It offers a variety of functionality that complements each player’s personality and skill level."
Features:
- Performs all tricks!
- Precision balanced
- Polished wooden axle
- Classic round shape
- Available in 2 wood stains
But, my youngest saw it, and wanted to learn how to use it. So, when we weren't playing checkers or doing the puzzle, I was schooling my girls on how to roll up the string of the yo-yo and then get it going, so it wouldn't jump drop off at the end. It took a few tries, but eventually they both got it, and were all smiles, showing off their yo-yo skills.
I couldn't resist showing the tricks I learned as a kid, and then they wanted to learn. They even watched a few videos online of other fun yo-yo tricks they hope to master soon.
My girls really enjoyed the TCG Toys we were recently sent, and I know your family will, too. They are not only fun to play, and will provide hours of enjoyment, time and again, all while not breaking the bank. And, with Easter fast approaching, why not consider picking up these or other games or toys from TCG Toys to add to your child's Easter basket. It is amazing how something as simple as a checkers game can provide hours of enjoyment, and get siblings playing nicely together. And, a yo-yo, which most kids nowadays don't know how to use, is really fun, and kids want to learn how to do it, if shown. I have to get my girls their own yo-yo's as they want to practice, and like putting the yo-yo in their pockets, to pull out and play with when they are bored.
