5 Stars Fun game and full of learning
My son has had this game for a year now and it is by far his favorite Leapster game. I enjoy playing it too. It has multiple levels, several different tracks and tons of learning packed in. You have so much fun playing you don’t realize you are being educated at the same time!

5 Stars Excitement
My 4 year old nephew was extremely excited about this product and bengan playing with it right away. I like this product line and it keeps him entertained during road trips etc. Highly recommended.

5 Stars Educational and fun
This cartridge kept my children’s interest for quite a while. The funny thing is I never knew it included spelling games because they never played them. Guess they weren’t interested in that part.

The games involve driving a car around — the child gets to pick the course. Each course has different skills it works on. The setup is basically the same. The car must avoid road hazards while answering questions (by bumping the car with the correct answer, driving over the car with the answer or taking the turn in the road with the correct answer) to continue driving. The questions include things like filling in the missing number 1 _ 3 4 or filling in the missing letter to the word or which letter is the lower case “b” or answering which number is greater or less than another number.

There are two levels to choose from, so it can be played by kids from preschool through kindergarten. This game is a little too easy past kindergarten age but my son still enjoyed it in first grade.

5 Stars Great educational game for boys and girls
I bought this game for my daughter’s 5th birthday. She loves the movie Cars and now she loves the game too. The characters and voices are just like the ones in the movie, which makes it entertaining as well as educational. She loves the racing games on it and it’s so great that she is actually learning something while she’s playing. I also have a 3-year-old daughter who likes to play around with this game on the Leapster too. She doesn’t really know how to play the games yet, but she still enjoys the characters and is quite entertained by it as well. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone! If they love the movie, they will love this game!!

5 Stars Leapfrog Leapster Game Cars
I purchased the Cars Leapster Game for my 6-8 year old children as a gift. I now see that I should have purchased 2 of them becasue it has become their favorite out of all the games they already have. They love the graphics and the sounds.

5 Stars Enjoyable, durable and worth the money!!!!!
I bought this radio as a last minute Christmas toy for my son who was 15 months old at the time. It was love at first sight.It was not only the hit of the day but the most enjoyable (for him) toy that I have ever gotten him to date. He carried it around with him most of the time rather than leaving it on the refrigerator but whatever works for him works for me. He loved most of the songs and played them over and over again. He knows all the songs front to back and it took him no time to learn which “station” to turn it to and how many times he needed to push the music button to get to the song he wanted. We also live on a second floor apartment and going though his throwing phase he tossed it of the balcony several times and almost 3 years later it is still going strong. Music, structure and magnet rise. While he no longer plays with it constantly I can tell you that he, 3 years later, still turns it on at least one a day. Anything that costs 20 bucks and lasts more than 6 months (entertainment wise) is well worth the money. I have read comments about the sound quality and loudness of the radio so I thought I would comment on it. The sound quality could be a little sharper but my son was able to learn the sons fine so no complaints from me. As for the loudness, I can hear it from any room in the house, any louder and it might be annoying rather than enjoyable. It would be a top choice for a gift for a child between the aged of 1 and 3.

4 Stars my 2 year old loves it
Once I was able to get her to understand to not take it off of the fridge, which didn’t take long, this has been a fun toy. Even though she likes magnets that are smaller that she can put on and take off of the fridge, I, as a parent, love this toy because I am not having to pick it up of the floor constantly like some of the other magnetic alphabets.

4 Stars Nice toy.
My 18-month old grandson loved carrying it around, pushing the buttons, watching and listening. A good purchase.

5 Stars best radio for a toddler
This radio is easy enough for my one year old to handle…not all of the toddler radios out there are really easy for them to use. This one has multiple songs that were new to us, as well as some old favorites. They weren’t as annoying as some other musical toys that play the same two songs over and over. My daughter has had it for 5 months and still wants to play with it daily. Her 5 year old sister even enjoys it, as well. Definitely one I would recommend and buy as a gift.

5 Stars Great musical fun!
Our 15 month old daughter loves all types of music, and we wanted to get something portable for her to listen to. From the moment she got this “radio”, she was hooked. It’s one of the first toys that she grabs each morning, and plays with throughout the day.

Pros:

- Good mix of educational (Alphabet Song, Days of the Week, etc.) and classic music (Old MacDonald, Itsy Bitsy Spider, etc.).

- Easy for a toddler to carry.

- Nice LED display with letters and numbers.

Cons:

- The “classic” songs are music only, no singing.

- The music all sounds a bit computer-generated (ie. MIDI).

- Adults might get tired of hearing that kid’s voice saying “All Right!” after almost every song.

4 Stars Great Beginner Game
My son received the Leapster system for his 4th birthday as a gift. It comes with this game. While this game isn’t the most challenging, my son enjoys it. I am not sure at what level the previous reviewers children are at, but my son doing very well at school. Maybe they are academically beyond him. He knows all of his letters, their sounds, and can read three letter words. He can also write out all of the letters in the alphabet, uppper and lower. So while this game isn’t extremely challenging, he still found it fun. I haven’t found controlling the letterpillar to be difficult at all, as a previous reviewer said. The arrow buttons on the control respond fine when controlling the letterpillar. I think this game was great as a “free” game with the system, because it allowed him to get used to using the controller. And my son isn’t electronically deprived. He uses our personal computer all of the time to play games. He also has a V-Smile with other games. We wanted this as a portable gaming system. Again, it was a good first, free game. I have nothing bad to say about it considering I didn’t have to pay for it.

5 Stars Great letter review!
Found the letterpillar a fine afternoon rainy day breath of fresh air for my girls. Like that the letterpillar gets ill if it eats numbers.

2 Stars It’s educational
We bought cartridge for our 3 year old. We were going on a airplane trip and thought it would keep his attention. He used it for only 5 minutes and wanted the creature creation cartridge. He may get more into this one when he gets older.

2 Stars Letterpillar – doesn’t stack up to other Leapster games
While my 3 yr old and 5 yr old play this game some, it doesn’t compare to the other cartridges we own. There is only one game on the cartridge. It is simple, and I’m not convinced it has much educational value, as do most of the other Leapster games we have. I recommend you buy the Draw & Write or the Letter Factory. My children fight / “take turns” over those two games and they are educational.

5 Stars Great letter teacher, phonics, etc. lots of fun
My grand daughter loves this and Running on Zero, one for letter skills, the other for math. Both are fun, and teach the child. They challenge your child to try harder, for a better score, even though there’s no grading involved (the way it should be)
