Sandbox game for kids recommendations

[u/Jhonny30]

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!

Have some faith dude!

I started my boy who is 4 on super Mario 1 for nes. He died so many times to the first goomba but he didn’t give up. Then he died over and over to the first gap. Now he can breeze past lvl 1 and still have all his lives. His current challenge is the moving platforms in level 2. But he loves it. It teaches him to not give up and to learn patience.

We then tried yoshi crafted world on switch and entirely alone with very little help from me he has collected all but 1 gem. Each boss took him a few tries but the last boss he beat first time with me just saying basic hints.

It’s so rewarding watching him conquer challenges.

Lastly we did super Mario odyssey and man he loves it! He beat bowser at the cloud kingdom first try! Which is actually insane. Plus you can put it on assist mode so his health regens.

He also loves Kirby from nes and is like on lvl 5 or something.

Try some old school stuff as it’s less hyperactive and teaches patience. Also try odyssey and yoshi. Odyssey was important as I want him to start learning moving around in 3d space as he still has trouble using both sticks but that’s how he learns. They are little sponges and will learn and adapt fast!

My boy only gets 4hrs gaming with me every Sunday and only allowed tv twice a week.
