Maika! So good to hear from you! I have too new tips, too: Headbanz in which you put an object on your head and try to guess what it is, and Bear Hunt, by Melissa and Doug, which is very much like Guess Who but with no pieces to lose.

Hey Whitney,
Just got back from a frustrating trip to Target trying to find something for my almost 3- year old daughter. I came home empty handed. I thought, I bet Whitney has recommendations for board games, and sure enough, here is your list. Thanks for this great list. Now I have a few I’ll look for at the neighborhood toy store. Maika
PS My son loved Zingo, as did I.

OMG That Angelina game! I LOVED Angelina as a little girl (I was very into ballet), and have been trying to get my 4 year old “niece” into it as well.

we LOVE us some zingo at our house. our daughter is 4 and we’ve played it for about a year now. easy and fun! good choice. “yoo hoo, can you moo” is a new favorite – once we figured out exactly how to play it, that is.

we just got my 3-year-old son dr. seuss’s super stretchy ABC game. It’s like Twister but with the alphabet. So kids have to learn to recognize their letters, to be both the caller and the “stretcher.” And each letter has a corresponding picture that starts with that letter, and sometimes you have to put your hand/food/ear on the letter, and sometimes the picture. So you also need to be able to figure out what letter the word starts with to find it quickly on the mat. So…it’s learning, but with all the “stretching” it’s a good physical activity too

I love Gobblet, also by Blue Orange… I mean “we” of course.

Thanks so much for this list! We live in a small town, so the selection of games isn’t that great at the toy store, and figuring out what games preschoolers like can be really tricky!

I just picked up the eeBoo faces one at the local goodwill yesterday

Great selection. Thanks for sharing this with us.
