The best games for toddlers 2023
Looking for a really good game for toddlers? We have compared the best games for children up to 4 years and picked out the top25.
What are toddler games?
In our recommendations, we make sure that the games are not only fun, but also always teach something. For toddlers, this is primarily physical and mental dexterity (e.g. patience, winning/losing, remembering things, logical thinking or deftly placing game objects with your hand).
Games for toddlers also fun & challenging for adults
However, the games we recommend are not so rudimentary or boring that they wouldn't be fun for parents and other adults. In fact, with many games, you'll have to really push yourself to keep up with the little ones.
The best board games for all ages
For those who have children of a different age, we have created more lists with board games separated by age group.
A list of games for kids of all ages can be found here: The best children's games.
