Editorial Review

"I spy with my little eye" is the chiming chorus of road trips with kids, and also now of this game for preschoolers. It develops reading skills through colors, pictures--the high-impact compositions of everyday stuff from the I Spy books by Jean Marzollo--and rhymes. Different games are possible with the same set of easy-to-read cards: listening, rhyming, and matching. Older kids can play with their younger, nonreading siblings without any rivalry. That's because, in this game, everybody wins. But in order to succeed, you gotta stop, look, and listen. --Lynne Sampson

This review is from: I Spy Preschool Game (Toy)

This game was given to our 3 year old as a gift and he loves it. His little sister, who is two, also loves this game. This game really helps to develop a childs ability to concentrate on visual cues. It is basically a matching game combined with a puzzle concept. There are no complex rules to learn, so within minutes of opening the box any child can begin to play and enjoy this game. As each match is made the child receives immediate reward and motivation to find a new match. Best of all is that this is a simple game with no buzzers or bells and is best played with the TV turned off.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cute idea but too little in the box..., November 1, 2005

This concept is a great for little kids. Personally I think it is geared towards ages 2-4 yrs. Problem is, there are only so many pieces and it took my daughter 2 times to memorize the game. She was 3 and I found it too easy for her. She loves I Spy but this game isn't worth it. Get the momory game instead

This review is from: I Spy Preschool Game (Toy)

I just wanted to correct the manufacture's age recommendation info. provided at the beginning of the item description. The box says it is for children aged 3-6. My 3 & 6 year old can both play it. In reference to the first reviewer who did not recommend the game - there are 5 different ways to play which makes the game more challenging for older kids.
