We forget how smart our grandchildren are. In preschool early, they learn their letters and can put together words by age three. There are so many scrabble sets designated for age 3 and up, and buying a scrabble game as a visit or birthday present is something the parents of your grandchild are going to love.

Here is Restoration Hardware’s description and history:
PREMIER EDITION SCRABBLE. “In the 1930s, during the Great Depression, an unemployed architect named Alfred M. Butts invented a board game using letter tiles and a scoring system. He first called it Lexico, then Criss Cross Words, but it was in 1948, when he teamed with entrepreneur James Brunot, that the name Scrabbler was born. The game’s wild popularity began in the ’50s and continues today. Over 100 million Scrabble games have been sold worldwide.” *Our exclusive vintage edition re-imagines this classic game as it may have been in its early days *Game cabinet is crafted of solid hardwood and features die cast metal accents, including the drawer pull and tile racks
