Welcome! And is that you teaching your little one how to play Go? Nice!

Thanks and yes! She is still too young (only 2) to learn the rules. She only likes trying to draw a picture of her favourite cartoon over the board with stones

don't be so sure. give it a shot, and I think you've be surprised -- start simple and build.

I think some people have had success teaching young kids, but I don't know of anyone that has taught Go to a 2 year old. Migeru tried it: http://senseis.xmp.net/?JonathanHelis

GoChild is an application to teach Go to young kids, but I'm not sure how young: http://www.gochildgame.com/en/index.htm

Also, welcome!

Just to put things into perspective, even top-class pros didn't first learn Go until they were 5 or so. Actually I don't think I've ever heard of a pro who learned Go as young as 3.

I'm not saying she'll be able to completely learn the game at 2 years old. I'm just saying kids start learning much younger than we typically think they do, so no reason to wait.
