Hi I have a nephew and he is very smart, he spends a big paret of the day in the day care and in the afternoons his mom gives him a lot of attention but she also needs to do the house duties so I'm looking forward to provide them with some games they can enjoy together or that he could do on his own and give his mom a brake.
I also have a passion for design and since nice games are hard to find I am willing to make my nephew's games.
I only need ideas, he loves puzzles but he is too good at them and knows the ones he already has by heart. I would like something that develops his basic skills, specially reading skills cuz he is a bit slow in learning to read but he loves books.
Thank you so much! and I promisse that if I can share game files with you I will. I'm currently working on a game called Alle meine Schäfchen by ravenburger I don't know the name in english but I could share the files with you.
Thank you!!

If he likes puzzles, then he might enjoy The Kids of Carcassonne. The game still has tile laying so players will create a landscape. It requires color recognition and basic counting. These are two skills that should be doable for a four year old but not yet be beneath him.
He might also enjoy playing with the pieces on their own to basically make his own free form puzzles as he configures different landscapes with the tiles.

There was a geeklist started by

last fall getting recommendations for children's board games for Christmas. The list also has a poll asking what ages the games were good for. You might want to check it out. I bought a few of these games based on the list.

I have researched this question a good bit for my 3yo niece and 6yo nephew; also played a lot of games with them. Some of their favorites, and enjoyable for adults to play with them too:
Kids of Carcassonne: great tile-laying game
Gulo Gulo: wonderful dexterity game. Kids are better at it than adults!
Sleeping Queens: card game
viva topo: race to get the mice safe, harder than it seems at first
magic labyrinth: very cool planning/memory game plus symbol matching
Chicken Cha-Cha-Cha: memory game, but with fun twists
The Secret Door: cooperative memory game
Catch the Match: clever, simple picture-matching game
Tier auf Tier: Great dexterity/balancing game that is fun for adults too
For working on reading skills, you might consider Scrabble Jr.. It gets mixed reviews here, but I enjoyed it as a kid, and my niece and nephew enjoy it too.

I think these games could work:
dexterity: Gulo Gulo, Animal Upon Animal, Eiertanz
memory: Chicken Cha Cha Cha, Geistertreppe, Mouse Carousel
planning: Viva Topo!, The Magic Labyrinth, Schildkrötenrennen
my special: Château Roquefort, Giro Galoppo (but I don't think that can be truly understood by 4yo)
