In this episode, we put the spotlight on the preschooler with twelve games that are fun to play with a three-year-old! 

I’ve been on a quest to find board games that the three-year-old can play and enjoy and that don’t drive the rest of us crazy. On this episode, I’m going to share an update about that quest and point listeners to a few games that we’ve found work well for our family of five—including the three-year-old.
