    LeapFrog Disney Minnie's Bow-tique Super Surprise Party Learning Game (for LeapPad Platinum, LeapPad Ultra, LeapPad1, LeapPad2, LeapPad3, Leapster Explorer, LeapsterGS Explorer)

    • There are decent skills
    • but I can see a 3 or 4 year old learning colors and fine motor skills from the game.
    • Colorful, pretty and helps facilitate math skills.
    • Daughter loves it, definitely to play for 3 and up as some of the fine motor skills needed aren't there for younger ones and they may get frustrated.
    • Also, using the stylus to create bows is great for little ones working on fine motor skills
    • But even if that improvement was made, there isn't enough sound-learning (maybe that's a pun?) in this part of the game to really teach any significant learning skills
    • Currently both Minnie Mouse and Mr. Pencil are keeping her attention and encouraging her reading skills.
    • Their fine motor skills should develop from using the stylus which I hope will translate into hand writing skills
    • They usually end up playing the bow design part, but there are 4 other minigames, including hide and seek and dress up, that enhance memory skills and/or help them learn letters and letter sounds.
