Board Games Appropriate for 3 Year Old

CopperT0p

I've been looking at Toys R Us and Walmart for board games that are rated for 3+ years old, but I haven't found any yet.  

Does anybody know of any board games meant for this age group? Maybe I'm a bit early and we should just stick to card games like Memory?

For this age range I'd try Elefun (where they catch the butterflies) or there's one called chasing cheeky monkey or something like that. There's also one for 2+ at Target that I can't remember the name of, but it's a puppy that you put bones in the bowl. Good luck

Also there's always ones like cooties, ants in pants, candy land, etc.

Some of these aren't board games per se (no board), but my three-YO likes: 

- Pop-up Pirate

- Busytown Airport

- Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat I Can Do That

- Dr. Seuss Green Eggs & Ham Speedy Diner 

- Dr. Seuss What's in the Cat's Hat? 

- Hi-Ho Cherry Oh

- Busytown Eye Found It

- Jake & the Neverland Pirates Uno

We've tried the following so far...
-Candyland & Chutes and Ladders (we don't go backwards though or LO would not make it to the end!)
-Bingo (we have the Minnie Mouse Bow version, this is the biggest hit so far of all her games)
-Go Fish (the card game, we make pairs not sets of 4)
-That fishing game with the little plastic poles and the chomping fish go around in a circle...  We do this as a everyone works together to catch all the fish, not competitive, and she likes it.
-Cluck n' Chuck - found this at Target, pretty cute, but I don't know that we've every really played by the rules, we sort of make it up as we go along!

For Christmas I got her Princess Memory, this little Froggy game where you have to hop the plastic frogs into a pond by pushing on the back of them, and Hi Ho Cherry-o.

DD didn't get into traditional board games until 3 1/2. The ones she liked at 3 were:
Busytown Eye Spy It (highly recommend this game, award winning game and I see why)
Elefun
Gone Fishin

It wasn't until 3 1/2 she got into: Candy land, memory, Letter Factory, and the other more traditional board games.

Right now DD loves CandyLand and Hi Ho Cherry-O

We got DD Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders for Christmas. Both were 3 plus on the box.
