I’m so blessed to partner with our friends over at Wonder Forge, BRIO and Ravensburger, once again this year, for our Giving Christmas Away event. Each year, they’re always so generous to bless the children and this year is once again, no exception.
All the gifts pictured above are sure to provide some much needed distraction for the children in our local hospital’s pediatric cancer wing this Christmas.
If you’re looking for some great games to put under the tree, you’re at the right place!
