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)

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!Latia (Birth & Postpartum Doula and Infant Nanny)

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