Michelle My Bell Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 So I am buying the regular Leapster for my 6 year old daughter (who loves star wars oddly enough, but she is still ALL girl and sugary sweet) and my 4 year old boy who loves anything cars and Thomas & Friends, but I don't know what games to get. I am not one who is too thrilled with goofy characters and such. I like wholesome, not too commercialized stuff. I want this to be educational, yet super fun for them. So I would love to have game recommendations from all of you. Even what games to avoid. Also, what accessories have you found profitable to have? Thanks for all your help!!!

gandpsmommy Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 My 6yo ds has a Star Wars game that is all about math. He actually learned to read two and three-digit numbers from this game before we encountered them in his kindergarten math book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtoboys Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Oh, forgot to say I got most of my games on Craigslist for around $4-5 a piece (a LOT cheaper than retail!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 My DD has the following games....Up, Pet Pals, Disney Princess, Dora the Explorer, Diego Animal Rescuer, Mr Pencil's Learn to Draw and Write, and Creature Create. Her favorites (according to me because these get used the most) are Pet Pals, Dora the Explorer, and Diego Animal Rescuer. For Christmas I'll be getting her another game. I'm leaning towards the new amusement park game. By the way, you do not have to stick with the "older" Leapster games. The newer ones will work with it too.

LauraGB Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I don't know if they still make it, but my kids really liked the School House Rock one when they had the leapster (which was several years ago...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnL Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Gosh, we must have 30 games, and not one is something I regretted getting. They are all fun and educational in some way. In fact, my youngest is getting the Leapster 2 for Christmas, and I'm not sure I'm going to buy any games to go with it, because we already have a ton, and I know he will love them and learn from them. I agree that it's a good idea to look at eBay and Craig's List. Also, on Black Friday, I think it's Target that is having all Leapster games on sale for $15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
