Moms of 3 year olds - board games?

We just started playing board games - Hungry Hungry Hippos, Zingo, and Hi Ho Cherry-O. DS loves them. Any other games you would recommend? Is it too soon for Candyland?

Re: Moms of 3 year olds - board games?

I just picked some up for Xmas and DS is turning 3 in a month.

We got Hungry Hungry Hippos, Chutes & Ladders, and Candyland.......they were all like 2.99 on sale, so I figured I should stock up now......

....for my son, I think it's a bit early....but he seems to like Hippos. I guess it depends on the kid. Mine is more about the action, kwim?

Dd likes candyland and the cranium games about treasure island (can't remember the exact name now). We tried chutes and ladders but it was too much for her.

Candyland
Candyland Bingo
Hi Ho Cheerio
Colorforms
Memory
Operation
Chutes and Ladders
What's in Ned's Head
Fishing (the one with the little fishing rods and the fish jump up and down)
Squiggly Worms
