Old School Games Kids Love

Sharing is caring!

Ever think back to the good old days of playing those timeless classics when you were younger? When I was a kid there were not smart phones, tablets, or Nintendo handheld devices. We had to make fun with our imaginations and lots of physical activity! Spring time brings the fun of outdoors. As a child I remember once winter was over we were dying to go outside and play. With play time comes snack time. We all know that active playtime makes for hungry kids! You can’t go wrong with Man and Cheese! Horizon Mac and Cheese is the perfect afternoon snack for those refueling moments. Its easy, gluten free, and is always a favorite for kids!
