31 Games - Count Your Chickens

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!

This fun little cooperative game helps little ones learn many new skills.  Not only will they become more adept at typical board-game skills like taking turns, following directions, and moving around a board, but teamwork and counting skills, as well.

Join together to help Mother Hen collect her chicks and bring them back to the coop!
