I bought a leapster for Christmas, and I have the Sponge Bob, the Dora, the Kindergarten, the 1st grade and the cartridge it comes with. Out of all those cartridges the one all my kids like the best is the kindergarten. My 7 year old played it today for almost 2 hours, my 3 year old played it for at least 30 minutes, and even my 5th grader enjoyed it for a whole hour. Of all the games it is the one that is the most like an educational game boy game. You are at a carnival and you are trying to earn tickets to build the funniest monster and to buy cool tunes for it to dance to for the show. You can then make the monster do funny dance moves for the show. Games to earn tickets include a balloon popping game that teaches opposites, a candy making game that teaches sequences/ patterns, a blaster one, and the fun house that is like a game boy where you have to find the letters to spell certain words. You earn red tickets at certain games and blue tickets at other games, then as you buy monster parts it teaches addition. I have to admit even I have enjoyed playing it and think it is the best of all the leapster games out.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Godsend!, April 6, 2004

My son is newly 5 years old. I first purchased the Leap Pad quite some time ago and it seems, even to this day, he's too young for it or he just gets bored of it quickly. I purchased the Leapster for Christmas and he LOVES it. On his birthday, I gave him the kindergarten software. (He will be going into Kingergarten this coming September). Its his FAVORITE one to date. Its like owning a video game, only EDUCATIONAL. He plays with it CONSTANTLY while learning his letters, numbers and even how to spell small words. I can't rave about it enough.

I am six. I liked balloon kaboom the best, because you got to pop balloons and it was funny.
