Need Wii Suggestions

Well I just hooked up our new Wii.  Actually bought it for my wife (she asked for one).  I am wondering if anyone has suggestions for games/programs for a 3.5 year old girl.  Winters are long here in Wisconsin, so it might be a nice disctraction.  If it is educational, then even better.  I am not looking to plant her in front of the TV for hours, but rather offer her (and soon her sister who is only 2) another indoor option.

Maybe 3.5 is too young for Wii.  If you think so, it would be good to know also.  Thanks

There is a Diego game that you might look at.   My (4 y/o) daughter didn't really like it, but it seems like one of the few that is made for smaller kids.   The controls are relatively easy and there's no way for your character to "die".   You might also consider Wii Music.   It has some modes where you basically just press buttons, etc and it plays music.

dora

I heard the Dora game (Ice princess I think) is very easy for 2 and up to play. Also my 4 yr old son absolutely loves Mario Kart. He can't drive to well but you can play two player with them and have a blast yourself.

Wii

If you can, get the wiii fit board. All the kids love it and the youngest (5) loves doing the yoga. Rayman Ravin rabidds is fun for all. The first one and second are fairly cheep now. You need the wii board for the third. Also the wii sports is enjoyed by all. All the Mario games are fun but can be difficult for younger kids and I don't like the way they have the looser bow their head in disgrace. Hope this helps.

Might still be young but...

My daughter is 5.

She loves playing the tennis and baseball on the Wii Sports.

Also likes the Carnival games.

Again, yours might still be a tad young. I find the character games rely too heavily on the character, rather than the content.
