Best kids DS games?

[jdport]

I'm buying a DS lite for my daughter for her 6th birthday. There are lots of kids titles for the DS, but obviously the games I consider good do not really apply to her age group Anybody else have kids with a DS? What games have been really good and which ones to avoid? Also, which accessories are must haves for the DS? I'll at least get her a case for it... i've heard mixed reviews though on whether things like screen protectors are worthwhile or not.

Thanks!

For 6-year olds, I would suggest NERF armor for the DS. My wife's 9 year old cousin and my 5 year old nephew have both broken DSs because they have dropped them. The NERF armor gives you some protection.

My 6 and 3 year old enjoy Mario Kart DS, Mario Party DS, Kirby, and any other game that looks kiddie like Nintendogs or Drawn to Life.

That pretty well covers it.

I posted very similar earlier this year.

My daughter is IN LOVE with the Build-a-Bear game, Crayola game and a pile of others.

I actually read through this thread, but I only saw a couple of actual titles mentioned.
Thanks for the input. I'm going to give her drawn to life and either nintendogs or build-a-bear workshop for now.... then maybe get her another one for Christmas.

My three year old likes Cooking mama games. Also, Mario Kart DS.

Chobo Tales and Animal Crossing are both kid friendly!

Nintendogs is a higher quality game, she'll definitely enjoy it, especially if she likes animals/dogs and let's face it, there are very little people in this world who do not like cute dogs, let alone little girls who do not like cute dogs.

Pretty much anything with "Mario" in its name
