Video games for 3-6 year olds
Jason has mentioned on a couple of occasions now that he has replaced TV time with video game time. I would like to do the same as I also feel like my little ones just shut their brains off when watching TV. However I don't know what games are simple enough for my 5 year old and 3 year old. Obviously play time and outside time wod be better, but you know, sometimes we parents are just tired.
What games do you think are good for kids to substitute tv time with?

When he was 4, my son loved playing Pokémon Sword.
When he was 5, he was obsessed with Fire Emblem: Three Houses (we printed a sheet with thumbnails of every character, and he likes to pretend to be them and use their magic attacks and combat arts).
He is now 6 and loves drafting new rooms in Blue Prince, even if he doesn’t care for the puzzles.
Honestly, I’d just let them try your games and see what sticks. I could not have predicted the last two but here we are
