    I got this game on sale for 7.99. I love the game idea and really like what it teaches but it needs some improvements.

    My daughter loves this game. She will sit quietly and play. It helped her identify and write her alphabets. My daughter has both the leap pad and leapster explorer. The game is compatible with both but it's easier with the leap pad versus the leapster explorer (in regards to writing--the leap pad has a bigger screen)..

    My 2.5 year old nephew lost interest in the game after a short period of time, probably he was too young for the game.

    Good for kids just learning how to use fine montor skills. It teachs shapes colors and the diffrent types of lines. I don't like that you have to download and pay for the rest of the game. I wasn't aware of that. My 4yr old loves the game and she has already learned how to write her entire Alphabet. My 8yr old likes to color and draw. It keeps them both busy for hours. I think this game is best for the younger children.

    This is a great product. I bought it for my little sister and she was in love with it. She didn't get the hang of it at fast, but she started learning really quickly. I see her writing and memory skills have improved because of this game. I suggest that whoever has a child that has a problem learning how to write, get this and I'm 100% positive they'll learn & love it.

    Got this for my 4 yr old for his birthday. He loves it. Very good at it. My 2 year old also is able to play it, for the most part. Love how we are driving in the car and he references things he learned in the game.
