We bought my son the LeapFrog ClickStart My First Computer for Christmas. He liked the games that came with it, but we thought we would get him a few more. Some (the Toy Story game) were a bit disappointing because they only had one game (with various players and settings); however, the Animal Art Studio has many games and they are all different. My son loves to paint, create and play while he is unknowingly developing his creativity, hand-eye coordination and memory. I would definitely recommend this game!

This product has benefits and drawbacks in just about every area. It is very easy for a 3 year old to operate and navigate through the programs. Mine had no trouble at all and has had very limited use of any computers in my home. The puzzle feature is dull and my child lost interest in it very quickly. You need to click on the squares until you hear the chime that indicates a puzzle match. This is all well and good and very easy to do, except you have to keep clicking and clicking the square as many as 10 times before you get a match. I counted at least 114 clicks with the mouse to paint the pictures that have only 20 squares to match.I saw no difference between level one and level two; the games, pictures, activities and features were exactly the same.
This program is not like a computer program that may have oodles of games and other things to do. It simply has only 4 pictures on the shimmering ocean (puzzle), and one or two other games to play in the other 3 catagories. My son likes it because it is his "own" computer and he has fun using it himself without any help. He doesn't get frustrated if he makes a mistake, but does get bored with the shimmering puzzle. It does help him with understanding the keyboard and using a mouse. I see him out growing it real fast once he has mastered those skills.

My 4yr old son got this with three other games for his new click start and this one was by far his favorite. He loves animals, he loves painting and now he is learning to mix primary colors to create green, orange and purple. Great game!
