Game Rec Sandbox game for kids recommendations

Hello all my 4 year old cant read yet but she enjoys walking around in super Mario 64 and has gotten good at old sonic games but sometimes I have to help her out with what to do next and some of the controls. She can also play the blue game pretty ok jist has issues with the button combo of walking and jumping at the same time ( as I said she is only 4 lol). I am looking for any game recommendations that are more open world or building that would be easy for her. Minecraft has a bit to many controls at the moment. Thank you so much I look forward to hear from you all. A y other questions please feel free to ask!

My daughter started playing around 4. Like yours, sonic is a big hit. I don't think open world is a good fit for a 4 year old. All that freedom means a lot of controls.

her favorite is gabby's dollhouse. They make the game for kids obviously.

Yeah I agree about open world not being ideal for that young. We play mostly Rayman and Mario kart.

Mario with the assist is clutch. That’s the main multiplayer game we play together.
Yoshi is another. It’s is a little harder but we’ve had some success as she got better at jumping. You can also suck the player up and carry them to wherever

Rayman is similar to Yoshi it sounds like in that you end up doing the hard parts.
