Question:

Is the game of domino's prohibited for children?

In the name of Allah the beneficent the merciful

Answer:

There are no obligations on the child during the young years of his age, according to the saying: to gain knowledge at a young can be compared to carving on a stone, therefore if the child gets used to solitaire and domino's at a young age he will also play these games for sure at an older age, and you as the father will become the partner with your son in committing that sin.
