Cute, fun, educational Princess games Aug 02, 2008
By Crystal
This is one of my 5 year-old's favorite game cartridges. She likes the other Disney Princess cartridge also. The games on this one are:
(Ariel games which focus on shapes, numbers, math)
Hermit Crab Shuffle - use the stylus to help Ariel select the hermit crab with the correct answer written on it's shell
Sea Searchin' - use the D pad to help Flounder swim to the bubble with the correct answer in it
(Belle games that focus on letters, phonics, spelling, memory)
Dish Dash - use the stylus to help Chip select the dish with the correct answer on it
Snow Ride - use the D-pad to help Belle ride her horse through the snow to reach the log with the correct answer on it
In all four games there are special objects which can be caught for bonus points.
The package lists the features this way:
Mathematics Skills;
Shapes
Line of symmetry
Greater then/less than
Counting to 100
Skip counting to 100
Skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s
Odds and evens
Addition to 18
Subtraction to 18
Phonics Skills;
Uppercase and lowercase
Letter sounds
Sight words
Substituting sounds in words
Consonant blends (fr, sl, mp)
Consonant digraphs (sh, th, wh, ch, ck)
CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words
Silent e words
The other Disney Princess cartridge, which features Ariel and Cinderella instead of Belle, has more games than this one, but those extra games are less challenging. If you're trying to decide between the two, I would suggest the other cartridge for players who could use more practice writing and using a pencil/stylus. Other than that, both cartridges require the same skills and offer room for growth at different levels.

 For the budding princess. Mar 06, 2009
By Noname
I have a 5 year old who loves this game. She's had it for about a year and it's one of her favorites. It never gets old.
The player must find books and win treasures in the various games to fill Belle's library and Ariel's Cave. The games teach spelling, letter recognition, sound recognition, number sequence, counting, number recognition, addition, subtraction. There are three levels to choose from in each game. The kids pick up on it right away that the lower levels are easier.
This game is fun and there are so many things to do. Oh, and did I mention educational? I highly recommend it for any young girl who wants to be a princess.
Below, I describe the games available.
_______________________________
Snow Ride: Help Belle get to the castle. Navigate her horse by choosing the correct answer.
Level 1: Focuses on recognizing upper and lower case letters. For example, "Ride to the log with the letter `e.'"
Level 2: Focuses on recognizing the sounds of letters. For example, "Find the letter that stands for the sound `uh.'"
Level 3: Focuses on spelling. For example, "Find the letters that spell the word `had.'"
Sea Searching: Help Flounder swim to the bubble with the correct answer.
Level 1: Counting and recognizing numbers. Answer questions like "Swim to the number 5," or "How many rectangles are there?"
Level 2: Focuses on number sequence. For instance, "Swim to the number that comes after 72."
Level 3: Focuses on number sequences counting backwards. For instance, "Swim to the number that comes before 73."
Dish Dash: Help Chip set the table for dinner by choosing the correct plate.
Level 1: Focuses on letter recognition. For instance, "Find the plate with the letter (amongst 4 other plates that are numbered)."
Level 2: Focuses on letter sound recognition. For instance, "Find the letter that stands for the sound at the end of `sun.'"
Level 3: Focuses on spelling. For instance, "Find the letter that changes the word `ham' into `ram.'"
Hermit Crab Shuffle: Touch the hermit crab with the correct answer.
Level 1: Focuses on recognizing shapes. For example, "Find the circle."
Level 2: Focuses on number relationships and simple addition and subtraction. For example, "What number is less than 5?" and "8 squares minus 5 squares equal what number? (the problem is illustrated)"
Level 3: Focuses on addition and subtraction; and the problem is not illustrated. For example, "How much is 0 + 10?"

Great for the little Princess Dec 31, 2007
By Pris
My 4-year-old loves this game. She prefers it over all the other Leapster games she has, which might have something to do w/ the Princesses! However, she (and I) like this game better than the other Leapster Princess game. Bottom line: if my daughter is happy, then so am I! Great buy.

My 5 year old daughter loves this! Jun 17, 2008
By Mom of 2
My 5 year old daughter loves this! We gave it to her before a really long car trip and it kept her busy like I had hoped! She got this and one other game and likes this better than the one that was ranked 5 stars!

Awesome 1 Jan 17, 2011
By Awesome
I wasn't sure if my daughter would really get involved with the leapster for this long and this game was a bit harder then her other ones but overall she likes this one the best. She may only be 3 going on 4 in a couple months but she's just like her mommy who loves challenges. Gotta love it, but this is her fav.
