Tic Tac Toe Games for Toddlers and Preschoolers
Tic Tac Toe is an easy game for you and your toddlers to play together.
You may remember that as a child a lot of the times you came to a stalemate when you played, but that’s only because you had been playing it for a while and learnt the strategies to draw or win the game.
With toddlers and preschoolers, they don’t have these strategies so it’s time for you to let them win sometimes so that they can learn how to play.
Check out our selection of Valentine’s Books for Toddlers and Preschoolers for some selections to add to your book box to read aloud.
Starting to Play Tic Tac Toe with your Toddler
When we first started playing tic tac toe we used to play as a 3.
My husband helping our toddler and me playing against them or me and the toddler against our husband.
This helped our tot to know the rules of the game.
As they got the rules we were then able to play together.
If you have older children they could be your tots partner instead of you and it’s a great way for older and younger kids to play together.
