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.

My 4 YO daughter received this game with her new Leapster II at the holidays. She had wanted it for so long and was thrilled to have a video game device like the big kids have. Now, four months later, she has yet to master an understanding of what the goal of each game is or the motions that create consistent success in the games. Granted, she doesn't even play with this every week, and she is improving every time she plays.

We do a lot of creative imaginative play at our house and also at her preschool. My husband jokes that she inherited my video gaming skills -- I am famous for playing Quake and basically just standing in the corner and shooting myself or jumping into lava.

So I think the key to success with this toy is knowing the child who will be using it, and sticking to the age recommendations on the packaging. Some kids my daughter's age have mastered all the games on this cartridge; mine will be growing into it for the rest of the year.

I bought this for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. Even though the game is labelled for ages 4-6, the 2 1/2 year old can do much of it. She loves it! I think most children over the age of 4 would find this one boring.

I agree with other reviewers - this game would be terrific for a little one just starting out with a Leapster. My 5-year old was bored after a few times. My 3-year old stuck with it a little longer, but even she said it was not very hard. Kai-lan has three games, each with three levels. While the activities are fun, they are pretty repetitive. My daughter loves Kai-lan, and we actually prefer the Nick Jr. online free Kai-lan games. While I absolutely love Leapster and think most of their games make learning a lot of fun, I think they could have put a little more effort into this particular cartridge.

I purchased this game for my daughter who is 5 years old and it was not worth the money. There aren't enough activities and the "highest level of challenge" is not challenging at all. Save your money and download a free game from the internet. I downloaded the "bunny" game for free and she is far more challenged and entertained by it.

This edu-game is easy for Kindergarteners to understand and offers levels to keep them challenged. Not so difficult they lose interest, but not so easy they get bored either. My five year old was able to plug it in and go. I didn't have to stand over her shoulder to explain every little thing. Instructions are great and edu-game is age appropriate. She is improving as she plays and loves it.

My daughter loves this game. She is still a little young for it but she loves it all the same.

My 3.5 year old loves this game. There is parts of it that she can't quite figure out, but she will grow into it. If you have a Kia-lan fan, I would recommend it. (You can trial this game for free from the Leap Frog website.)
