We have two leapsters going at our house. My three year old likes to play the Sponge Bob game but she prefers Pet Pals. I think Sponge Bob is a bit over her head. Sponge Bob is my six year old son's favorite. He can do the simple math.

I got this for my four year-old niece for Christmas... She's a SpongeBob fanatic, so I was pretty sure I couldn't go wrong. She immediately popped it into her Leapster and played with it for the rest of the day. She was pretty focused on the Crab Claw game and seemed to really enjoy it... After I told her to stop and listen to SpongeBob count the money she was dropping into the machine instead of just throwing it in until it switched to the claw... well, she was learning something without realizing she was learning... which is the whole point to this "edutainment" thing, right?

The animation, itself, is a bit lacking, but it's SpongeBob and Squidward and the whole gang... and that's all she needs to have a good time... and learn a little something while she's at it.

I would have liked to see a record option on the music "game," so she could tinker around and then listen back to what she created... but just having her interested in something for more than five minutes at a time is awesome enough.

Overall, she was having a blast with it, so it was money well spent.

this game is a little bit difficult for my 3.5 year old son, i am hoping in a year or so it can be useful to him.

I bought this game as a gift for my grandson's 5th birthday. He is a huge SpongeBob fan. He really enjoys the game and is learning along the way. I was amazed at how quickly he picked up the concept learning about coins.

My son is 4 years old and he has almost all the leapster games. But He loves this game the most! He is always laughing while learning counting and numbers. A must buy!!!
