This helps to avoid the scenario where a player unleashes a massive power only to learn in the end they had targeted a minion.I am a nut for gamhttp://community.wizards.com/dndparents/go/thread/view/79117/28940921/To_use,_or_not_to_use_tiles.?post_id=517330977#517330977I use both minis and tokens.

Though it may depend on the age of the child, how 'imaginative' they can be, and whether they're prone to removing things from the table in order to investigate them further. :)That being said,http://community.wizards.com/dndparents/go/thread/view/79117/28940921/To_use,_or_not_to_use_tiles.?post_id=516803751#516803751Agree completely re needing minis and tangible objects.
