Games for 3-4 year olds

Do you know of any good games for 3-4 year olds for the Wii or PS3?

I have a recently turned 3 and 4 year old and they like to play some of the games with us on our wii. While the games aren't geared to preschoolers, they are family oriented. However my kids could just be wierd, lol. They enjoyed attempting to do the wii fit with us, as well as wii sports (bowling, golf, etc), we also have Carnival games that my 4yo enjoys, but I have to help her work the controller more. I can't recall the name, but we have a mini-golf game that both kids enjoy, and suprisingly my 4yo rocks at it . She also likes Toy Story Mania becuase it reminds her of the ride.

Mario Kart is the most popular game in my house (my DS 3.5 doesn't really play it, but my DD at 4 did).

Boom Blox is a good one for all ages.

daBlob- The little one can't really play the game well, but they can do a free style mode where they can just collect paint and paint the cities.

They also like many of the activities on Wii Fit.

DD4 LOVES Toy Story Mania (but isn't very good!). Santa's gotten her Princess and the Frog and Scooby Doo First Frights for Christmas. I also considered one of the Spongebob games, but decided against it.

I don't know if you have a boy or a girl, but I got my almost 4 year old daughter Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom and a Ni-Hao KaiLan game. She also loves to play the Wii Sports with us (bowling, golf & tennis).

DS3 has been playing Mario Kart since he was 2 1/2. He is honestly the best player in the house...he beats all the adults. We also have this game Chicken Shoot that he loves. Basically you shoot chickens....arcade style. Once he learned how to reload the gun he was good to go. I like it because you have to shoot all the chickens in a level before you move on....it keeps him occupied for awhile.

For Christmas this year he is getting Toy Story Mania. Hopefully that is a winner, he loves the ride!

Don't know how the game is but I ordered Jump Start Pet Rescue for DD3 (4 in April) It says for preschoolers. Hoping she will like it and can play.

My DS is just over 2.5 and LOVES Mario Kart. He is actually really getting the hang of it. He also likes Nascar Kart but goes back to Mario Kart. We got him Cars Race O Rama for Christmas so we will see how that goes.

There is a Smash Cars demo DH downloaded on the PS3 that DS likes too. We just use the demo because he goes back and forth between that and the Wii so no need for advanced courses by buying the game!

I like the idea of the Chicken Shoot ... DS might like that.

My DS4 is addicted to the lego games (Star Wars, Batman and Indiana Jones). He plays them on the PS3 and has been doing so for at least a year. These are by far his favorite games.

When he was 2.5ish, he played the gamecube Mario Smashbrothers a ton. He is getting that on the Wii this year.
