It is not enough just to put the kid at the computer, you need to choose the kind of entertainment that is needed for his development.
At 4 years of age, emphasis should be placed on the development of fine motor skills, memory and attention. This is what games should be aimed at. An example of a game by age is finding a toy. Here parents need not to overdo it and hide the toy not too far, otherwise the boy will quickly get bored with the search.

Do not require your child to concentrate on a particular game for a long time. At 4 years old, he can play one game for no more than 10 minutes in a row, so please be patient and have a large selection of entertainment.
Games from this category can be divided into 2 large groups: for the development of logic and for the development of memory. Here are some interesting games from the first category:
- The little cook. Bring all empty pots into the room. Place the lids separately from them. The child needs to choose a lid for each saucepan. To do this, he will have to analyze the shape and size of each item.
- Fruits and vegetables. Blindfold your baby and invite him to guess familiar fruits and vegetables by touch.
- Leaf fall. Collect the leaves of all trees with a recognizable shape – maple, oak, birch, etc. Circle them on paper and ask the kid to determine which outline belongs to which leaf. You can’t put leaves on paper!
- Third wheel. Prepare cards with different items. Give the kid 3 cards each and ask them to remove the extra one. They can be painted on, for example, a cup, a plate and a cat.
Games for the development of memory will well prepare the kid for school, because there he will have to memorize large amounts of information. One of the games for memory is “Shop”. Write a list of “goods” for the child and submit it to the virtual store. Make the list bigger each time. The store in this case is your apartment. Write something like “towel, fork, cubes” on the list. Let the child find these items and bring them.
Another game in this category is “artist”. Draw a simple drawing on paper, ask your child to remember it, and hide the piece of paper. Now the kid must draw the same picture from memory. You can also invite him to remember the location of things in the room, and when he comes out, rearrange something. After that, the boy will need to determine what has changed.
These games improve fine motor skills. An excellent assistant in such entertainments is plasticine, but just sculpting figures out of it is boring. Invite the kid to blind the kingdom and then add a new character to it every day. Come up with the characteristics of a new hero together. This will develop not only the hands, but also the imagination of the crumbs.
Jigsaw puzzle is a fascinating puzzle game that involves collecting a picture from parts. At 4 years old, you need to choose puzzles with a small amount of details and with large elements. Give preference to pictures that match the interests of the kid – cars, animals, airplanes, etc.
Drawing is another useful pastime worth paying attention to every day. First you need to teach your child to hold the pencil correctly. Do not regret this time, as it will be very difficult to retrain the wrong grip later. You can draw pictures from scratch or paint coloring pages. You can use pencils, markers, markers, different types of paints. Finger paints, which do not require brushes, are especially popular now. They improve fine motor skills and are popular with children.
Here are 3 games to improve your little boy’s speech:
- Opposites. Ask your child to choose antonyms for simple words that you name, for example, kind – evil, smart – stupid, etc.
- Trainer of sounds. Ask your child to reproduce the sounds of different animals. Achieve the most accurate reproduction possible.
- Young detective. As you walk, ask your child to describe everything they see. Make sure that he correctly composes his speech, calls things by their proper names. This is one of the best ways to expand your vocabulary.
Such games will perfectly prepare the baby for testing before the first grade.
Despite the fact that these games are aimed at four-year-old boys, be guided, first of all, by your child. Some children are ahead of development, others are a little lagging behind, so the games described can be interesting to kids both at 3 and 5 years old.
