Perfect games for 3 years old boys

[abielmuren]

Hello,

I am looking for recomendations on games for 2 years old boys.

My kid just started to play last month, a few minutes one or two times for week. He has been playing Lego Star Wars and Lego Marvel, and personally I find it easy to play and follow. He likes a lot those games, but he gets bored very soon, that is because he doesn't understands very well the dinamics of the game yet, the 3d space is somewhat confusing for him yet.

Yesterday we've played "Never Alone" and he got very happy playing it. So I realized that maybe he could start with simpler games, maybe similar to this one.

If you know some games that may help my kid to learn, post your comment below. Any recomendation would be apreciated.

Had success with my 3 1/2 y/o daughter playing Castle Crashers. Levelled a character enough for her to be able to take and do some damage, then she took over.

I see that a lot of people mention computer games. However, how's about things with which a child could train his motor skills or imagination. For instance, colorings you can also easily find in every section of the internet or just click site[coloring-for-kids.com] and download them.

Personally, I am one of those volunteers who is creating images for children. So, I guess, it can be useful for you too.

This one. I'm a 300 year old male and still found it to be delightful.

Edit: Looks at age of thread and compares to his own age.

What about A Hat in Time?

My kid loved Burnout Paradise for a lot of years. The controls are simple and there's lots of stuff to do and unlock.

Mine is 7yo and he likes to play puzzles a lot from 4yo! When he was younger he played tetris, after I downloaded for him some more brain-sharping game like https://sudokupro.app/ and he liked it. I hope he will be genius haha

i know this is old, but it is the first i saw of it

so, i like what you are saying, but i would think that one can safely assume that the op is referring to video games if they are asking here

and, just so you know, learning to use a controller, mouse and keyboard, and other gaming/pc peripherals has been to shown to be an excellent way to increase motor skills and cognitive abilities

my kid practically demanded to learn math and how to read so he could play his pokemon game without me.

This one below. I played and completed it a while ago and it is perfect for your kid, also for adults who are in search to ease off a bit.

I'm thinking of Scribblenauts series or any of the lego games

Sorry for the super late reply. i just was googling around for the same question as the OP, as my 3 year old is like me, he loves games. The only game he spends a long time with is... "My Friend Peppa Pig" over on the Xbox App. (No idea if it's on steam, got it with GamePass)

But he loves it, probably because it's super simple. the only controls he needs to know on the controller are Left Right and A. - And because the A icon appears on screen when his character can interact with something, he's picked it up really fast. - Also, there's no Jumping.
Video of him playing: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ho22ShrCcrbzs7kn9

I've tried him on other games like Peggle, but that doesn't keep him interested all that long.
Also tried a few 3D ones, like Alpacka Stacka over here on steam, but he has issues with turning the camera around on Alpacka Stacka, and as such he's always just walking around blindly, acting like it's a sidescroller.

So, are there any other games, that i can get for him (Any PC platform, not limited to just steam), with requirements/Gameplay similar to "My Friend Peppa Pig?":
+ Controller Support.
+ Left, Right, Action only.
+ No Jumping.
+ No "Game Over / Mission Failed" sort of events.

Your child is still in the middle of developing an identity, personality and trust for people.
I recommend spending time with your child, both from the father and mother.
Interact with them even if it seems silly. Reply to the child, etc.
Play with them;
don't make them play alone.
and if they play alone make sure you're around.

As for games, I recommend brain training or educational games. Let them solve puzzles and such and let them be challenged, rather than something lazy / ease of going.

Your child is extremely quick to take up language and communication at the age they are in, abuse this to get them to understand stuff even you don't.
And be careful with your own emotions. Everything will enter the child very harshly and so they may shut off their emotions and needs if they get overwhelmed or traumatized.

Try getting them to develop empathy; care for other people.
there is too little of that. It may be abused and not lead to success and due to the high self centered and selfish people in the world, its possible they will be bullied for standing out with empathy, so there is that risk.
but... you'll have a friend you can connect with in the end, rather than someone who uses their familly to get somewhere.
