We just got the Leapster2 for our 4.5 year old and chose a couple of games - you want to be picky since they are expensive and you don't want so many as to overwhelm them. She also enjoys the Pet Pals game. This is one of her favorites and she delights in getting points to buy the robot parts. She comes running in the room to shout "I spelled a word" and that she got to complete a robot. This is a great educational toy, but can you will need to limit their time (she would play all day if I let her). The Disney Princess Enchanted Tales game did not hold her attention nearly as long, and she is a princess fanatic.
My 4 year old son got this game and the Wall-E game over the holidays. I can really see the value in helping him to sound out letters to create words, and it also builds math skills (adding how many tickets you need for each part). He hasn't really touched the Wall-E game yet because he cannot stop playing this one. He loves getting "tickets" at the various games to buy monster parts. I was concerned that at 4, he'd be young for this game, but there are various levels and it can accommodate kids who are not yet reading. Great product.
I gave this to my 5 year old grandson along with the leapster for Christmas. The verbal instructions are easy enough for him to follow on his own. The games are right on with what he is learning in school. They are educational but also fun and keep his attention.
My son's first game for his Leapster. Very fun and very easy for a 4-5 year old to learn and follow.
My son just got this game for his birthday and he absolutely loves it. He actually just turned 4 but already was starting to learn to read so this was just right for him. He gets stuck on a few dexterity things but other than that we have gone through 2 sets of batteries in the last month because he has played it so much. I highly recommend this game for any child that loves their leapster.
