good learning games for preschoolers

[ILoveMyBabyBird]

i hope this is the right spot for this post,

anyway, kmart was having a sale on board games this week for some of the milton bradley games, and i got ds candyland and chutes and ladders, and we opened up candyland and he loves it. I plan on keeping the other one for xmas gift. so are these games good starts for part of our relaxed preschool-homeschooling and what other games would you reccommend for a 3 year old? I would like possibly some that incorporate learning the alphabet and working on that, which i don't think any of the milton bradley games do that. I am searching for hi ho cherry too, as that one seems pretty good for math.

Thanks

My son loved Uncle Wiggily, Memory, Mancala, Chess and Battleship when he was around 3.

Dominoes, regular cards, jenga, checkers, ect. All very cheap of course.

My little one is almost 5 now and still loves to play chess. Once he learned where the pieces move to he loved it. My dh taught him as well. I am not good at the game...

memory games and Ravensberg has some great sets of four board games in one for 3-5 year olds. We also are starting to do puzzles.
