Our Experience
B absolutely LOVE'S playing with his Nintendo DSI XL, and as much as I like for him to have fun, I also prefer that if he is spending the time, that he's learning something in the process. As a mom Scholastic is a familiar name that I've come to know and trust over the year's. They publish wonderful children's book's, and have a variety of other fun products that are great for the kiddo's.
As I was doing a search recently for some new constructive game options for B, I was delighted to come across the new line of games for Nintendo DSI (Scholastic has also released a line of games for Nintendo Wii)! While offering tons of fun and interactive elements, these games are also offering learning opportunities.
We received My Amusement Park, Digging for Dinosaurs, and I Spy Universe for review, and all became fast favorites! My Amusement Park offers several game play options that incorporate matching, memory, and spatial reasoning skills into the several games offered on My Amusement Park (each game is fashioned after Amusement Park favorites).
Digging for Dinosaurs definitely spiked interest with B, as he is a HUGE fan of all thing's Dinosaurs and got to learn some fun & amazing facts while playing the game (between all of the great books, a favorite children's program, and now this great game, B definitely has amassed more knowledge about Dinosaurs than DH and myself have!).
Next, we checked out I Spy Universe. Fashioned after some of the great I Spy Books - I Spy Universe offers so many opportunities to play and learn! Packed with fun riddles, and images to seek....this game could occupy for hours on end!
B definitely has had a wonderful time playing these games, and as a mom I feel wonderful that he is LEARNING while he's playing!
I would highly recommend these Scholastic titles for Nintendo DS, hours of Learning FUN await!
