Think-a-lot Toys Expands Line with Themed Think-ets Collections

Boulder, CO – Lovers of all things Fairy will be swooning over Think-ets Fairy Collection, the latest travel game just released by Think-a-lot Toys. Contained in a bright pink pouch, fifteen adorable, tiny trinkets will transport kids ages 8 and up into a magical fairy-land of stories, play, and imagination. The tiny trinkets are imported from around the world and come with instructions for ten different games to play. In addition to the Fairy Collection, there is also a new Think-ets game with a sports theme.

Parents will love one more way to get their kids AWAY from the computer and engaged in open-ended play—something all child development specialists and play researchers say is good for social and cognitive development. The allure of the miniature trinkets gets kids talking, sharing, laughing—even working together. Some of the games kids can play with their Think-ets include the classic memory game, “What’s Missing?”, “What’s Your Story?” and the simple but challenging logic game, “Who’s Last?”

Think-ets have been tremendously popular with parents who want a little something to take with them on trips, to pool sides or to restaurants. Says one Mom, “We love this game and highly recommend it for families! I love the small size of the pouch—it can easily fit into a purse or diaper bag. The games are Brain-Boosters to enhance memory and critical thinking skills. Think-ets are a great activity to play while waiting for a doctor’s appointment, waiting for food at a restaurant, or an anytime challenge.”

All Think-ets games are assembled in the United States by people with developmental disabilities. So, Think-ets are not only good for kids, they are good for our community.

Think-ets Fairy and Sports Collection games will soon be available nationally at specialty toy retailers, book, gift, museum, and general stores all across the country including large outlets such as: AreYouGame, Amazon.com, ToysRUs, Sears.com, Geppetto’s, ThinkGeek and Xtreme Geek.
