Games
There are many games for the Wii that can be enjoyed by young children. Wii Sports and New Super Mario Brothers Wii are just two examples of great games that children as young as 4 or 5 years old can appreciate.
Party games
Many party games can be played with young children. Games such as Mario Party are simple and can be played with relative ease by children as young as 4 or 5.
Safety
With young children, it is important to make sure they stay safe while using the Wii. Always ensure that anyone using the Wii is aware of personal space and has his/her Wii Remote securely attached with the wrist strap.
Parental guidance
While many games for the Wii are suited for children as young as 4 or 5, many games are not. Make sure you are aware of the ESRB rating. It is advisable to stick to games rated "E" for young kids.
Exercise
The Wii is an excellent console for young kids because it can get them off the couch and moving around. Games such as Wii Fit are great for keeping your children fit while they have some fun.
