How to play with a two-year-old

Keep it short, follow their lead and do not worry about every rule. A toddler game is a success if it gets played, put away and asked for again tomorrow.

Can a two-year-old really play a board game?

With a grown-up partner, yes. These games use one simple action per turn, such as spinning, matching a color or doing a movement, so a toddler can follow along.

Are there small parts?

The toddler games are made for ages 2 and up, but always check the box and keep any loose pieces from older siblings' games out of reach.

What skills do toddler games build?

Colors, counting, matching, taking turns and following one-step directions, plus a lot of giggling.

Board games for 2 year olds and 3 year olds

First games for toddlers keep the rules to a single idea per turn. Monkey Around gets children moving and copying actions, Acorn Soup and Happy Marshmallow use simple matching, and Where's Bear? turns stacking blocks into a hide-and-find game.

Because a grown-up plays alongside, these games also teach the routine of a game itself: open the box, wait for your turn, cheer for someone else and pack the pieces back up.
