Can someone take a picture of their two year old holding it? My 2 yr. old is already starting to write letters and we're hoping he could do this game

As a pediatric occupational therapist, I was very disappointed in the limitations of this game. I had difficulty squeezing the mouth open. The game has a good concept but you could only put the max of two flies in its mouth. Best to make a game yourself with a tennis ball or raketball.

I use this with mainly 3-4 year olds as they have the hand skills needed to play the game. A two year old could play with the focus on counting and sorting the bugs as well as feeding the bugs to the hungry frog. It is the size of a smallish tennis ball.

I wish we had more tiles. My young kids like to deviate from the game rules and make up lots of words on their own. We also use the letter tiles for other made up games. More is better.

It is truly a great camera. However, my 3 year old still wants to and is able to use my digital camera. LOL

My daughter turned 3 in December right after i purchased this. She was able to color and also snap pics of us. I guess it just depends on how well your child uses a touch screen phone. Before i decided to purchase a tablet... this one and an android, my baby was using my phone for games, puzzles and learning

It might be too small. Let me know if you want a picture of my son on it for reference.

Not my 2 year old and he's pretty sharp for his age. My 3 and 6 year old got it no problem but you do need a reward. Overall, a great system in my opinion.

My three year old loves it. Opening it involves a simple-to-push button. I think a two year old could open it but maybe not close it on his own.

Not in my opinion, someone that cannot read could play by matching the pictures (matching specimen drawn and the small photos on bingo-style cards). On a side note, the rocks/minerals are excellent quality and size - so fun to look at and play with on their own. So much so that it didn't take long for my 2.5 year old son to have the rocks/minerals memorized, which made the game even easier to play.

I purchased this for my 3 year old grandson. He does well with it. A 2 year old might be a little young if they like to put things in their mouth.

Absolutely! My two grandsons are 2 & 3 and they did pretty good with it. It's a very lightweight plastic. Easy to hold. Fun!

I bought it for a 4 year old. There is a little pause between the time he pushes the button to take the picture and when the camera actually takes the picture - so he had to learn to hold the camera still a little longer.

Its a little tricky with the directions provided, i would take pictures but i am on vacation for the next two weeks. If u can wait that long i will send pictures when i get home.

I bought this for an 18 month year old and he struggles with it. He doesn't really show any interest in trying to learn it. I'd say try giving it to 2 year olds and older.

Yes, I hate this feature. We just got this camera for xmas and I am really disappointed. I cant get the pictures of the chilren's faces before they move. I like to sit with my camera focused on the boys when they play or are doing something to get them making cute faces. My the time I push the button, delay and then actually get the picture, they have moved. I am seriously considering sending this camera back. Any ideas. The sports setting doesnt help here.

Hi, My daughter has the Leapster 2. It has one game installed and there is also a "paint" option, kind of like Windows "draw." She rarely played with those features, but they're not bad features. The game has dragons and you have to chase letters or something like that. If I'm not mistaken you can also download a game or two from the site. Just the same, I would definitely consider getting your niece a game to go with it -- Leapfrog.com was having a sale, maybe still is, which made many of the cartridges very affordable. My daughter loved Digging for Dinosaurs, Wall-e, the Backyardigans, and Finding Nemo in particular. She got the Disney Princess game but only played with it once. It looked like a real stinker. If cost is a consideration (as it is for me) maybe just let her parents know that you got her a Leapster 2 so they can plan on getting her a game or two. And how nice of you to get her such a lovely gift! It is a truly educational tool and was a huge hit in my house.

I do not have this camera any longer, my son destroyed it (he's 2) and i replaced it with a Pentax Optio S1 which is just as good, if not better than the original. I would be honest about the camera, its best not to conceal the truth. Let her know you would like to replace the lost camera for her with something comparable.

I would say the toy is too young, my daughter (who I got it for) is now 2, and she will push the button and play, but not really for very long. But if it's a new toy to them, they might. Just my opinion.
