This review is from: LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game Ni Hao, Kai-lan (Toy)

The cartridge actually has three different games on it and each game has a different level. There is a matching game, and a swimming race game, and a game in which they have to find what doesn't match. I bought it over the summer for my 3 1/2 year old daughter for a long car trip and she has mastered it. Granted, it is the only one we have so she has to play it anytime she wants to play her Leapster but I think the packaging says for a 4-6 year old and I really think a 5 or 6 year old would get bored with it pretty quick. However, it has been a great investment for our family. I'm sure when she gets some new ones for Christmas, she will never pick this one up again.

compared to some of the other leapster games, this one is very short. the 3 games can be repeated for new prizes but the repetitiveness is very obvious to the kids and can be boring quickly enough. It is a nice and sweet game, I just expected a little more variety. I got this game at a half-price sale, so that was worth it, but not full price compared to other Leapster games.

This game for the LeapFrog Leapster 2 Learning Game System - Pink is a great game for girls and boys. My daughter is in preschool right now and enjoys watching the Ni Hao, Kai-lan on TV. When we bought both of our kids the Leapster 2 for the holidays we were happy to find this game available for it. She really enjoys playing the games on this cartridge. Generally she has a low attention span, but it is age appropriate. On a recent road trip this game and 1 other kept her occupied for over 16 hours! I was thoroughly impressed.

I have played it a little bit but I am not completely familiar with the show so I cannot speak to the accuracy of the characters. It was fun to fiddle around with and I could see the lessons they were attempting to teach. It was done very tastefully and with enough subtlety as to not appear to be teaching without a purpose.

I would highly recommend this game for anyone with a preschool age girl or boy.

Thank you for reading my little review.
