Thinking ahead to Christmas.....we have a game from Discovery Toys but DD is a bit too young for it.....I saw this one.....I might order as a stocking stuffer......any other suggestions

That game looks cute. I've seen it before but we've never played it. My kids are those ages right now & they can both play Memory together (we have a Selecta one that is awesome), as well as Candyland & Elefun. We also work on puzzles a lot together. DD does 100-pc. puzzles, so Brendan & I will work on a small part of it together & then we join forces toward the end. Good luck!

Do you have Cranium Hullabaloo? It's a fun game for all ages, like Twister with music. Your DD can play along in any capacity.

Cranium Cariboo is fun too, and *might* be appropriate for a 2-yr-old. But then she might want to eat or hide the balls, which, I can tell you from experience, will frustrate the 4-year-old set.

We have both those games....DD might be able to play along in a few more months...when she is officially 2......

Our guys LOVE Zingo. Like bingo with pix and totally fun!
Also, Lucky Ducks (if you can stand the mechanical quacking noise) The kids love it and it is a great game!

HTH!

One that has been a hit here for a range of ages is "Tumblin Monkeys"

Amazon has it for $11. The game age recommendation is for 5 and up, but the only reason I can think of is that the "winner" technically has the least monkeys which is a tough concept. The first time I played it was with my cousin's kids - just turned 2, almost 3, and turning 6 played together fairly well.
