What are some great board games for a 3-year old, other than Candyland and Chutes and Ladders?

I had Hi-Ho Cherry-O and Memory at that age.

I was also mature enough to understand Sorry! and Uno, which I played at my grandma's on a regular basis.

My brother Joe had Trouble when he was 3 or 4; I guess he'd played it at a friend's house?

Haba Orchard was a huge favorite at that age (and still gets played with regularly)

Gamewright's Hiss card game

Go Away Monster

DS2 is 3 1/2 and LOVES Zingo. He's been playing it for over a year now. He also likes Busytown, Memory (and usually beats me), Hi Ho Cherry-O, Go Away Monster, and Thinkfun Snack Attack.

I also really want to get him Sequence for Kids, as I've heard it's really good. I've given it as a birthday present for two 3 year olds so far, but I still haven't bought it for us!

I love Sequence for Kids.

In addition to the regular Busytown game, the airport game is fun and the Cars and Trucks card game is great.

My DD loves spuzzle. We have the Madagascar version, but I've seen a regular one too. It's really fun!
