As your little one reaches the age of 4, their curiosity and energy levels are at an all-time high. This is the perfect time to introduce them to exciting games that not only entertain but also nurture their physical, cognitive, and social development.
When children are in preschool or kindergarten, parents have an easy time as the classroom learning is already equipped with a number of fun learning activities. However, we understand that parents will still want their kids to enjoy some interesting games at home as well, games that will teach them a little extra something or help them revise what they’ve learned at school. You can find many of such enjoyable games for 4-year-olds on the SKIDOS ap
As kids get older, it takes an added effort to keep them engaged. They grasp things faster and even begin to get disinterested or bored easily. Their minds need to be challenged with games and activities that stimulate their thoughts further. And of course, it is even better if these games have some learning attached to them. Games for 4-year-olds need to be one step above the basics, not just the regular alphabet and numbers. We’ve got some great game choices right here on the SKIDOS app that are perfect for the age group. Let’s take a look at a few.
Play is a crucial part of a child’s growth and development. It allows them to explore the world around them, build important skills, and develop social connections. Here are some key reasons why play is essential for 4-year-olds:
Cognitive Development: Through play, children can enhance their problem-solving abilities, creativity, and imagination. They learn to think critically and make decisions independently.
Physical Development: Play encourages the development of fine and gross motor skills. It helps children improve their coordination, balance, and strength.
Social Skills: Playing with others helps children learn how to cooperate, share, and communicate effectively. These skills are essential for building positive relationships in the future.
Emotional Development: Play allows children to express their emotions and learn how to manage them. It can be a safe space for them to explore their feelings.
Language Skills: Many games involve conversation, which can improve vocabulary and language comprehension.
Who doesn’t enjoy a day at the mall! In this game, the child can enjoy various scenarios that one would experience at the mall. There are multiple characters that the child can interact with and have fun role-playing. They can enjoy some ice cream, visit the salon, shop for clothes, get a photoshoot done, and even fix a car. There is also a music store scenario, where the kid can play with 10 musical instruments. We’ve also added multiple math and logic mini-games within, which are simple, relevant and are sure to keep the child engaged. So, while they’re having fun at the virtual mall, they’re also getting some math learning alongside!
Coloring, at any age, is a lot of fun. The splash of different colors blending together to create a beautiful picture is something that brings joy to both kids and adults. In our Animal Coloring Game, we have 20 patterns of cute little animals that kids can color. These patterns range from simple to complex in order to keep the kids interested and engaged. The palette has endless colors and the kids have the option to use all kinds of tools like brushes, crayons, color pencils, etc. Kids can also enjoy experimenting with fun stickers to decorate their animal paintings. Let your little ones step into the world of colors and animals, and also challenge their minds with a few math games along the way!
Keeping in mind the curiosity and liking kids have for the animal kingdom, we have carefully designed The Animal Game. While they can play with the adorable animal characters in the game, we’ve added some additional
nature learning to it. They can learn to tell time with an adorable bear clock, and through this, understand the different parts of the day (morning, afternoon, evening, night). We’ve also added seasons and star constellations. And, of course, counting, logic, and math mini-games are also smartly included at various stages in the game to retain the kids’ interest.
Games for 4-year-olds play a vital role in their development. They provide numerous benefits, from enhancing cognitive and physical skills to fostering social and emotional growth. These activities also create lasting memories and strengthen the bond between parents, caregivers, and children. So, don’t hesitate to join in the fun and watch your little one grow and thrive through play!
It’s no secret that children whose minds are more active often do well academically and socially. Their fine motor skills and cognitive abilities keep advancing, which, in turn, helps bring out their inner talent and unexplored skills. Through our games, we want kids to enjoy, learn, and think more. Check out the 40+ games on the SKIDOS app and you’ll be sure to find a few that are perfect for your child!
My day is usually quite hectic. As a mom of three I worry a lot about their screen time. Since we have SKIDOS Games I feel calm that they are safe online and are actually learning while playing. SKIDOS helped me get more time for myself, and now I simply get more done.

A great game with good math content where both of my kids (6 and 8 years old) can enjoy the game play and the math tasks. We have created 2 accounts and choose different grades, so both of my kids get math content adequate for their age. We really like Skidos games! Highly recommend!

I came across this fun math game which according to me is the best game for 7,8,9 year old kids. I am a teacher and introduced this game to the parents of my kids. So kids can now play and learn at the same time.
