 I was worried at first but it became a hit. Dec 26, 2010
By S. Granger
"Writer, cartoonist, & daddy."
As we started the game it went fine at first, the dialogue was sound and easy icons for my daughter to understand. Then the first object of the game is to speak to another fairy...and it's all written text. Oh no! My four-year-old knows just a few words and cannot read by herself. I did the translating at first and was very worried. But then I noticed something, she didn't ask much for reading anymore. Once she understood the objectives the game can be played without actually reading the conversations. She just kept going and learning. And she really did learn some new math skills. I was amazed, after my initial fears were put to rest.
If your child is easily frustrated, don't worry...so is mine. Just give your child a few pointers and they'll ask you to step back pretty soon.

Great game for my 6 year old daughter! Aug 02, 2010
By N. Broderick
My daughter wants to tell everyone that this is a really fun game! She love it because "it tells the story of Tinkerbell & The Lost Treasure using math problems." It's a little bit hard because some of the math is for older children, but that makes it challenging as well. The graphics are great, as well as the video. So far, she has completed the whole game once and received a "bronze" medal. Now she is working toward getting a "silver" medal. And then it's very easy to sink it onto the home computer to get prizes.
*Would have been nice for the amount we paid for the game to add a "Leaplet" card in the package.

 Challenging for just turned 5 yo and not using the Explorer to its fullest Jul 31, 2011
By Sharon B. Stilwell
We bought the Leapster Explorer for our two daughters (ages 3 & 5). They have enjoyed playing it and I feel like there is a lot of potential for fun and learning with this product... however... this Tinkerbell game is lack luster. The controls (uses the directional pad and A button) are awkward and my 5 year old finds it challenging to maneuver Tink through some of the games. She intuitively tries to use the stylus for the games (which would be easier and makes a lot of sense) but that is just not how the game is designed. The math is pretty challenging as well. I had hoped that this game would be a good learning tool for gaining interest and ability into math problems, but so far my daughter has mostly been frustrated. The dialogue throughout the story is written text with no audio so I have to read everything for her. We've had this game a while and waited until my daughter's 5th birthday to give it to her, but I think that it is really geared for an older child. It's fine if I sit and help her, but not so much on her own.

5 year old granddaughter loves it Aug 30, 2010
By grammy
We bought this for our 5 year old granddaughter. We recently spent a weekend with her and we saw her playing with it frequently. We were impressed with how much fun she was having learning her math.

Great for teaching math concepts Dec 14, 2011
By Hannah's mommy
"rommy143"
"Santa" brought this for my daughter last year along with the Leapster Explorer. I was a bit skeptical, but my daughter kept begging me to use my iPhone so I thought this would appeal to her. It was a hit. She loves Tinkerbell and this game is actually really good at teaching math concepts. It was a bit difficult at first to learn how to "navigate" Tink in the game, but once she got the hang of it, she loved it. The game gets progressively harder as she masters the different levels and math concepts. She's started using the game right before she turned five years old and was able to handle it well. Here we are a year later and she still plays this game often. One of the better Explorer titles.
