You're misapplying the Central Limit Theorum. Here is a site you might want to look at:
http://www.stat.sc.edu/~west/javahtml/CLT.html
I quote from it: "If only one die is being rolled, the histogram should look flat. For two dice, the histogram should look like the top of a witch's hat. For three and more dice, the histogram will be more bell-shaped looking."
All the CLT means is that as more single dies are thrown, the average approaches 3.5 not that more 3 or 4 are rolled. That is because that, over time, there will be roughly and equal number of 1s cancelling out the 6s to make 3.5 and so forth, not that fewer 6s and 1s will be thrown.
For example, if you roll a single die ten times and add the results, the range will be from 10 (all 1s) to 60 (all 6s). The CLT simply postulates that most of these sets of 10 rolls will be in the range of 30-40 (35 being an exact average)than at either end of the range.
Hope this helps.
