4.0 out of 5 stars Sew cute November 14, 2011

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I bought the game yesterday for my just turned 3 year old. I was going to play through it once and have her watch so she would get how to play it, but she wanted to take over right away. It was pretty easy for her to understand. All directions are spoken so knowing how to read isn't a requirement. I think an older child would get bored with this game. I also think it was a bit overpriced for all that it does, but my daughter loves Lalaloopsy and loves her new game. The dolls do have a recommended age being 4-6 years old, so it does make sense that the game is also aimed for a younger child to play, even though so many older girls love them, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lalaloopsy Game concepts children will use when playing June 19, 2012

The whole purpose of this game is for your child to obtain a charm from each friend in lalaloopsy land to complete a charm bracelet. This game is mostly a preschool math concepts game with some letter recognition and spelling (very little reading). It features a number of games that require matching, color recognition, patterns, spatial reasoning skills, shapes, spelling names by ordering letters on a bracelet and following visual and auditory directions. It requires a bit of cognitive ability on the child's part. They will be given a visual example of something to copy or do and they need to do it exactly as suggested. So if they are to decorate a pillow, they need to do it exactly as they see it in the picture given to them to copy. While its really important that the game requires they match exactly, I had hoped that after it was over this lack of creativity thing would disappear and the kids could create on their own and that didn't happen. I will say this though when they play the mini games, if they make mistakes and don't follow directions it is a forgiving game. They can still progress they just won't get as much credit. The worst they will hear is, "oh no" from a Lalaloopsy friend which is the signal something was done incorrectly. Auditory directions could have been a little more detailed with some of the games. Its visual, auditory and reading. That means a child can do the tasks if they can hear..and not read as well. Or they can read what to do, or see what needs to be done. There is the spelling that will be harder for a younger child. The graphics are cute and the concepts are good, we just found it to be too repetitive and boring after a while. A really young child will need some help initially to do some of these tasks, yet an older child may find this game too easy. I think it would have been better had there been more of an adventure involved in this one. It was played in 3 days, not sure how long it would take a child under 6 to complete it. The pros are it does teach math heavily, some spelling/letter recognition but not much of that. Its adorable and the auditory directions make it easier for younger kids. However the cons are that younger kids will need some help with understanding what to do to complete their bracelet properly and how to do some of the games. Its not a parent free game for 5 and under at all. Its very repetitve and there isn't much to do other than the same stuff. The game never switches gears and adds new elements other than adding new features to each mini game of which the max is 3 features anyway..and it limits creativity if you want full credit for mini games but that isn't a requirement to finish a mini game which is a nice feature. I hope they come up with something for the older kids thats more of an adventure. This is cute and has its place for sure. We are glad we got it. We are just picky gamers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun game January 2, 2012

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

We got this game for our 5 year old Lalaloopsy- loving daughter for Christmas. She loves the game so far and it is fun. Even our 7 year old daughter likes playing the game and she's not a huge fan of Lalaloopsy dolls.
I am giving it 4 stars though. Once they get through all the dolls it's pretty repetitive and they get bored with it. We've had the game a week and I can see the interest in it dwindling. The game is fairly easy except with one of the mini games you need to 'sew' something. My daughter was having trouble so she asked for my help and I couldn't even get it to work. I'm on touch screens all the time and know I was following the edges appropriately, so I can imagine how frustrating that could get for kids. They do talk through instructions so as others have said, girls who can't yet read could still play pretty independantly.
I got ours from TRU with a mini Jewels doll. The doll is about the same quality as any other Lalaloopsy doll and my daughter likes it, obviously it's smaller than the sold in stores minis. There is no hard plastic case but for me that doesn't matter, we have game cases they store their games in.
