Amazon.com Review

What could be better than a candy-themed fiesta with Dora, Diego, and Boots? Candyland, that venerable early-childhood board game gets spiced up with the cute characters of Nick Jr.'s Dora the Explorer cartoon show. Kids need not know how to read to enjoy the game because counting and color recognition guides them along this sweet path. Best of all, the game provides a learning opportunity for young readers since the game board has several objects and characters identified in both English and Spanish. The first player to make it to the fiesta at the end wins. Includes the game board, deck of game cards, English and Spanish instructions, and four character pawns: Dora, Diego, Boots, and Map/Backpack. --Porter B. Hall

Product Description

Take a rainbow journey with Dora and her friends! Share peppermints with Benny and lollipops with Isa, but watch out or the pesky Swiper will try to slow you down. The first to reach the fiesta wins! There's no reading required, so even the youngest Dora fans can play. For 2-4 players.

This game is very much like the original Candy Land game, only with durable plastic Dora characters as the pieces. The colors are the same as the original (unlike the Pooh game). The board is decorated very well with Dora characters and does not seem cluttered. I'm very glad our local Wal-Mart was out of the original Candy Land game and only had this one.

Oh how I loved the Candyland board game, many years ago I had the original version and what fun it was for me as a child. When I saw this game at the local Toyrsrus store in the "Dora" version, I had to buy this for my son (21 months). These days in our house it's "all Dora, all the time" and given that was the theme of this game it really got my son interested and boy does he love it! My main reasons for getting him invloved in this game are I think it's a great "family" activity. I also am working on teaching my son patience, waiting your turn, colors, and being able to sit down and focus and let me tell you after the first game (he won:) that's exactly what he is begining to learn. By game two, my son had no problem sitting there, waiting his turn, choosing his card etc. (These are huge accomplishments for a toddler). But, what I love the most is seeing his sweet face light up when it's "his turn" and he especially loves to choose which character he is going to be.

The game comes with plastic figures of Dora, Diego (her cousin), Boots, and Backpack. Hubby and I wish it also came with "The Map" as a playing piece but he's tucked into Backpack - oh well. Yes, we know all the characters too well. At this point in my husband's career, he didn't imagine in his wildest dreams he'd be humming "I'm the map, I'm the map...I'm the Map" at work. But, when you don't get too much sleep and your house turns into "Dora's World", it's bound to happen.

This is a must have game for any Dora Fan, really great!!!!

This review is from: Candy Land - Dora The Explorer (Toy)

I had purchased the original for my then 3 year old, but it didn't last long when two of the character pieces(the player pieces you move across the board) got wet and would not go into the base to hold them up. They are made of cardboard, and not resistance at all...plus they bend easily too. This one is exceptional, and the figurines are made of plastic, so no worries there. The characters are all on the board as well, (Tiko, Isa, Swipper, ect) and make the game slot more fun...the other canday, to me is boring. This one is worth any extra you have to pay and it's good for boys or girls!
