Check out some of these great pet games for kids, all available on Amazon:

1. Rat-A-Tat-Cat. Great for sneaking in some math skills practice while kids are having fun. Exchange the high numbered “rat” cards for low numbered “cat” cards. The game is full of twists, and the player with the lowest score wins. Great for introducing timing, basic addition, and probability!
2. Crazy Cats. A cat themed version of crazy-8’s that promotes color, shape and number recognition for young players.
