  The Doodle Pad allows your 3-year-old to use his imagination and artistic ideas to create his very own work of Internet art. It has four backgrounds that change with the time of year and season, virtual crayons, paintbrushes, ink pens, fingerpaint pots and stickers to use in the creation. This game only requires the skills to use a computer mouse. It is a simple computer game for 3-year-olds.
  
  

Fisher-Price

• Fisher-Price is known for its toys aimed at infants and young children. Fisher-Price also has computer games available at Fisher-Price.com aimed at these same children.This website has numerous printable coloring pages, educational games and a few story videos for young children to enjoy. There are three game sections to choose from: Infant, Toddler, Preschool.
  
  In the toddler section, The Little People Matching Game, aw with the other games mentioned, only requires that your 3-year-old be able to operate a mouse. In this game, the player is shown three animals and he is asked to choose the one that doesn't match. For example, two monkeys and a chicken. The player clicks on the chicken to move forward to the next group of three. Match all 10 groups and you win. It's simple, yet teaches the player to pick out differences.
  
  

Have fun!

• The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than two hours of screen time per day, so computer games should always be monitored. Play the games with your 3-year-old. Learn the games to know what is more appropriate to his skill and comfort level.
