I purchased this cartridge for my 5 year old because of the great list of skills it said it taught. My daughter and I didn't get past the first 3 minutes of play because we were both shocked that it used the word "Stupid" over and over as well as having the characters argue "did not, did to". I spoke to Leap Frog and they apologized. I am taking it back. If you are ok with your child picking up foul language than this is probably a great educational tool, but if you would like to instil good values in your child do not buy this product.

i bought the game fosters home for imaginary friends for my 6 year old daughter. its rated for 5-8 and K-2 grades. We did not even make it to the actual games. the opening cartoons were terrible displaying behaviors that i punish my children for, i.e. temper tantrums, taking things away from others, and being rude. it also used language we do not allow in our house,i.e. shut up and stupid. the game was terrible avoid it!

My 6 year-old twin boys both got Leapsters for Christmas, and by now have 8 games between them. This is the one they both play the most. Its fun, and like all Leapster games, they learn while having a good time.

I purchased this game a while ago without first reading the reviews. I was quite surprised to hear some questionable language and behaviors on the game while my 6 year-old daughter was playing it. We have strict rules in our house about saying shut-up and/or stupid (or other put-downs). While she may know these words, she doesn't use them, and playing the game hasn't changed anything. There are many classic disney movies that say shut-up and use the terms stupid and idiot. Unfortunately, we can't keep our kids in a bubble and they are going to be exposed to this. I wish it wasn't in an educational game, but at least I have the opportunity to hear it and talk about it with my daughter. Beyond those few grievances with "Fosters Home," this game gets progressively harder and my daughter is playing it every night. She loves watching the characters do "naughty" and goofy slapstick things.

We purchased this game for the Leapster 2LeapFrog Leapster 2 Learning Game System - Green. This is the favorite game out of all that were purchased. It has really kept their interest more so than even newer games that have come out. The age range of 5-8 is really accurate as it helps beginning and more experienced readers. My boys ages 5 and 7 really love the basket ball game.

My 6 year old loves the show Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, so this game was highly anticipated in our household. It did not disappoint! Both my 6 and 8 year olds love this game, it is fun, engaging and teaches vocabulary, spelling and "sight" words, which my 6 year old is currently studying in school. Definitely another impressive Leapster game.
