Whether you’re searching for something to do as a family, or something that will keep the kids busy, it’s often hard to find activities or games that don’t have screens, need batteries, or have to be plugged in. Fortunately, there are still plenty of non-screen, non-electronic options out there.

Automoblox (Automoblox)

Have a little car lover? (Or maybe a big one—after all, Father’s Day is just around the corner…)? Automoblox is an award-winning line of high-quality, collectible, miniature cars. The bodies are made of European beechwood and can be manipulated, mixed, and matched in a variety of ways to create different designs. Oh, and you’ll do all of that without tools. Mini models include the Grizzly truck, X10 Timber Pack SUV with trailer, and the very first Automoblox motorcycle. There are larger options as well, including the BR100 Hercules 16.5″ hauler (which can also be recreated into a dump truck). The Hauler comes with two back ends, a ramp, two mini vehicles, and has room to hold three more. For ages 4+. New minis range from $11.99 to $24.99. The Hauler is $59.99.

Puzzles are wonderfully calming for most fans, but especially for children and adults with autism. For that reason, since 2016, TCG has been supporting both Autism Speaks and Autism Speaks Canada. The company says that their Autism Speaks puzzle assortment includes “puzzles designed for a wide range of puzzlers, from the whimsical and gorgeous renderings of fantasy artist Miharu to original TCG designs, and more.” Prices range from under $4 for a 200-piece puzzle to about $8 for a 1,000-piece puzzle. https://tcgtoys.com
