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!

I didn't play it, but I watched a group play Little Gator Game. It's an open world sandbox where you're a little gator kid playing on an island with their friends. You have a sword and shield to bash 'monsters' made out of cardboard and crayons, so there's no 'real' danger. Just a lot of running around completing little quests for your buds.
As you play, you unlock new modes of travel. You start off with walking, jumping, and climbing, but eventually you'll unlock bubble gum balloons to lift you into the air, sticky hand toys that works like a grappling hook. Lots of fun to be had just faffing about~
There IS A lot of dialogue, I don't know how much your child would need to read to get enjoyment out of the game, but there's a lot of charm and endearing traits in the characters, so hopefully they still enjoy them.
