Our family loves to play board games! My husband and I have used two player board games as one of our main home date night activities for years! Now, our son is getting to the age where he can play games with us as well and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Since board games are such a great way to connect as a family I thought I’d share a list of the best games for family game night!

Candy Land
HiHo! Cherry-O
Count Your Chickens 
Best Board Games for 4 Year Olds

– This game is absolutely adorable! Players work together to help baby owls make it home to their nests before the sun comes up. This game also offers multiple sets of rules so that the game can increase in difficulty as your child grows!
Curious George Matching Game
– A fun little game of memory with some of the most lovable characters around! Kids will learn to remember where things are as well as improve their matching skills! So adorable!!!

Cute and colorful board game designed to teach young children about colors. Easy to understand and play—no reading required.
