5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect for the little ones!, October 25, 2006
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Disney's Little Einsteins (Video Game)
I have been searching for GBA games my 3 year old can play and this is it! I have bought many other games that from the title one would guess would be young-kid friendly (Piglet's Big Adventure, Dora the Explorer, etc.) but this one delivers! It is intuitive and the concept is very simliar to the episodes. There are several "missions" to choose from. Although there is some text to be "read" it is not necessary to figure out how to play the games. FINALLY my 3-yr-old has his own game separate from my older kids' games that is JUST AS FUN for him to play - more fun because he can actually do it!

The perfect first Gameboy game for my preschooler, January 14, 2007
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Disney's Little Einsteins (Video Game)
My mother-in-law gave our five year old son a Gameboy Advance for Christmas. I don't like the idea of giving little kids gaming devices, but if my son has to have one, I'm happy I found this game. Not only is it cute and educational, but it offers two skill levels: one easy and one slightly harder. My son does not get frustrated with this game, the way he does with the other Gameboy games rated "E," like Madagascar, Spongebob, and even Tonka trucks. This Little Einsteins game lets him enjoy learning how to maneuver the control pad arrows and the buttons. The games offer just enough of a challenge to keep him interested, while still being possible for him to "win."
Before each game, there are a lot of introductions and "talky" parts you have to scroll through. I've been sitting with my son to read the words to him as he plays (reading with your kid--what a concept, right?!) These "talky" parts are helpful, because they name the paintings, artists, songs, and composers that are the subjects of each "mission." The more the kids hear them, they'll be likely to memorize them. I think as my son becomes familiar with the games, he'll be able to just hit the "A" button to skip past all the "talky" stuff.
I'd also recommend "Franklin the Turtle" for preschool and kindergarten aged kids. There are a good mix of skill levels and a lot of different game choices.

Perfect for little one's, November 18, 2006
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Disney's Little Einsteins (Video Game)
I bought it for our almost 2.5 year old. He was always being left out when it was "game" time, so we wanted to find something just for him. For the most part, he just has to push one button and if he doesn't do it correctly, he just keeps playing. I think it is great although there are too many words but your little one can just push by those.
