I would not recommend Knack for young kids. Knack is a difficult game even for adults and is actually good in its genre.

That's actually a reason to make them play the game. Our children is too used to hand-holding games. Make them grow up with hard games and they'll be able to tackle any challenge.

It's perfect for kids as it let's you play co-op with metal knack that can respawn. It's prefect for teaching kids. 

My son just turned 3 and there's no way he would be able to play anything with controller 😋 he's pretty good at bowling in Kinect sports rivals so I'd recommend those motion control games.

Adventures of Pip & Bastion are two I've played recently. I bet Grow Home wiuld be good.

Remember when I was 6 and was struggling to play Resident Evil and Final Fantasy Viii.

I'm surprised by the number of kids games on the console. It's almost like I was blind to their existence. I remember buying things and tons of kid games for my daughter. Didn't take long for her to decide that True Crime was more exciting than Spongebob The Movie.

Buy those games but don't be surprised to find their taste growing to match your own.

Mine started with Super Rub a Dub HD and Feeding Frenzy.  One day I came home from work and she had beaten The Maw.  She was so proud of herself!  

I'm getting misty eyed.  :(

With kids, you have to think outside the box. You might buy a kid's game and it bores them to tears but they desperately want to play whatever they see you playing.

When my niece was small, you know what we used to play? Gran Turismo. I'd select Mini Coopers or something slower and we'd "race", which was basically me ramming my car into her car and teasing her for running straight into walls. Then at the end, I'd "miss" a ram attempt, scramble to get back into the lead, but she'd just barely cross the finish line first.

When it came to her playing by herself, though, she'd rather be playing with dolls. It was the interaction that was fun, and the belief that she was doing really, really well, even if that wasn't quite the reality.
