What age did you start letting your kids play video games? What's the best progression from 0 to building cool stuff in Minecraft?

I let her play a crappy little alphabet/numbers/colour learning game (LeapLand Adventures from Leap Frog) when she was 3, and it helped her hand-eye coordination, but she got super frustrated (the controls did suck). At 4 we started playing Mario Odyssey on Switch (she's the un-killable hat) and she LOVED it. She loves the teamwork and exploring and the fact that she is un-killable. We actually just beat Bowser recently, so it was like 1.5 years of game time. Her little sister is 3 now and we all play Mario together. The older one has fun telling the younger one what to do. I mentioned Minecraft to my wife and she's super-anti, so that likely won't happen for awhile.

Out of curiosity, what's the anti about Minecraft as a game? (Even in creative mode?)

She worries about them having too much screen time

Maybe start them off from some of the half finished OSS Minecraft clones and slowly wean them into the real thing 😹
