Four is the age for a first game with rules: matching, taking turns, someone winning. Zingo is built for children who can’t read yet, and the Code & Go mouse teaches putting steps in order without a screen. A toy is labeled with the age it starts at, not where it ends, so many of these are on the pages for 3 and 5 as well.
