31 Games a 3-Yr-Old Can Play - Introduction

Is your 3-year-old the youngest of the family, or are all the kids your child plays with close to that same age?  If so, then you know how difficult it can be to find ways for them to all be involved in the fun and games - so many choices are just too advanced for this age.

But now, you'll have a list of 31 unique games that even a 3-year-old can join in with.  A few of these ideas will be best for the preschool set, but most will work for a wide range of ages!

I've shared a bit about my love of games in the past, so I was pretty excited several months ago when we were able to introduce Gv to this challenging world for the first time.

The problem is, 3-year-olds are just beginning to learn the ins and outs of how to play some basic games, so options can be pretty limited.

In this series I'll share 31 ideas for different games that kids 3 and up can handle and enjoy.

This will be the landing page for each post (scroll down to see them), so if you ever need to find everything listed in just one place, you can bookmark this page and head right back here.

How many games can you think of that even a 3-year-old can join in and play?  I'd love to hear!  Either leave a comment below or email me at lisahealy (at) outlook (dot) com.
