I don't know if it is the fact that it is Sponge Bob or the game itself but my kid LOVES this game, of all his games for the LMax/Leapster this is his very favorite. Always talking to me about the "griddle grease" that he has to earn or has earned. (Which I think is gross, but he finds it endlessly fascinating)This one teaches you a little bit of spelling, addition, money, and even some science. I would say this is appropriate for somewhere around Kindergarten aged kids.
There are several games on this that have given her skills practice that they need. My daughter loves this game. She absolutely clamors for it every time she gets to see me. There are also several other creative areas that she enjoys.For the money, I highly recommend. You will get your dollars worth on day one.
She seems to absolutely love this cartridge. She received for her birthday on 10/21, and has not used any other cartridge since. we have to kick her out of the bathroom because she brings it in there with her also. As for the educational value I couldn't answer, but it has held her attention.
Daughter has this.Daughter is 4.Daughter loves this.Daughter plays with it all the time.Daughter becomes distraught when it goes missing in the sofa cushions or when her brother steals it.I love that it keeps Daughter busy for hours. :)
Our son LOVES collecting drops of the secret potion--he feels very rewarded when he gets a drop, and he regularly updates us with how many drops he has of each color. I think we still have a couple more years left with this game, as he doesn't regularly play the games on the harder levels.
There were several games that he could pick up and do immediately on his own (using the lower levels). We got this for our son when he was 4 and it has been a favorite ever since.
It's nice to see how he's grown into the game. One game, the phonics game, he wasn't able to do without some help, but it gave us a chance to work on it together.
Now that he's 5 1/2, he is able to do the phonics game on his own. Another nice feature is that for every game that your child completes, he/she gets to collect a drop of a secret potion that they can later use to help Sponge Bob create a secret recipe.
It's a nice little incentive that ties the multiple games together into a fun goal.
