If you are looking for a board game for a three year old, the search can be frustrating to say the least. There are plenty of good choices when it comes to board games. One easy and simple game that has peaked the interest of the three year olds I know is Zimbbos. Zimbbos is a stacking game featuring elephants and a lot of fun.

Zimbbos is produced by Blue Orange Games. Blue Orange Games makes high quality board games with real wood pieces, so you know the game will last and stand up to the tests of a three year old. The wooden playing pieces in Zimbbos are colorfully painted and are large enough that they are not a choking hazard. The game is great even for those under three. My one year old enjoys "stacking" the pieces as well.

The game consists of 18 playing pieces, 3 balancing bars,10 elephants and 5 wildcards. The wildcard pieces are clowns and animals. You roll the dice to determine how many elephants you have to stack. If you roll a star then you can stack either a wild card piece or a balancing bar. Pieces must be stacked either on the same level of the last piece played or higher. The elephants are numbered 1 through 10. You want to be the person to stack the 10th elephant to win the game.

Playing a game with a three year old usually means deviating from the rules as their attention span is very short. A lot of three year old children seem very interested in doing what you are doing. If you are playing a game, then they want to play. With a game like Zimbbos, it will give the younger kids in your family a game to play and feel included in game night.

It's nice to find games that are made of quality materials and are durable. With its all wooden pieces, Zimbbos will last for a long time. The pieces are a nice size, so they shouldn't be easily lost. The colorful pieces are really cute that you could just put them on a shelf instead of storing them in their game box.

With its large, wooden pieces and simple rules, Zimbbos makes a great game for younger kids. The game features well made game pieces and simple instructions. It's so much fun to teach and play a game with a young child. A lot of games are too complicated or take too long to play so smaller kids lose interest in playing. A game that is educational, simple, and fun is definitely a game worth giving a try.
