Toys for Tight Schedules

Wednesday, 24 July 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Snack toys aren’t toys you can eat—they’re toys intended to give kids a short burst of distraction. While many parents hand over their smartphones to distract kids in the few minutes before soccer practice or until dessert arrives, toy makers are increasingly trying to fill that gap with new toys for tight schedules reports the Wall Street Journal. Think Monopoly without the jail or timed Scrabble with only three-, four-, and five-letter words.
