My children are older, but we have downloaded several games from the google play store. I checked and there are some games there for toddlers that are free. I would advise going there first and see if there are any games you feel would be appropriate for your child before purchasing the ValuePad. If so, then I would recommend this unit. As your child grows, so will the options available and the price is not so much that you would have to worry about a young child handling it.

Games are for the most part not playable on this tablet. It's too laggy and the gravity sensor is awful. I mainly use it for some internet surfing, movie watching, netflix, and pandora.

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.

This is the tablet and they work very well. I have two boys, ages 7 & 8 and they have had them since Christmas with no issues. I even want one!

I bought my daughter a DS when she turned 4, and she is now 6 1/2 and has just started playing it a bit more. I thought about the Leappad for her, but since she doesn't play her DS much, I will probably opt out or load up a netbook with educational games for her. She loves cameras and taking videos though, and I thought it would be good for that. Do you guys have anything else you can suggest for a 6 1/2 year old who can work my smartphone better than I can? It should be able to take pictures, videos, be sturdy, and offer educational games geared at older children. She is in the first grade, but is reading at a third grade level.

My boy is 11 years old. He is always playing games on his Entendo...... for me it is a great source to entertain him while we are shopping, etc. Highly recommend one for any age child. Sonja G.

No. We've had a house full of kids today ranging from age 5-12. The 5-year-old, a true ipad user, was frustrated with the sphero. I wouldn't recommend this for a 2-year-old. The finesse required and the care it requires - I just wouldn't recommend it.

I like the Innotab 2 because it's pretty much like an iPad for kids. You can get games according to their age. It's very convenient.

I know that it is almost a year later, but I hope that you bought your daughter the Intuos4 tablet.It really means a lot to children when they are given something that is professional grade rather than the product of "lesser" grade.It shows them that you believe in them enough to spend a few extra dollars so that they can have a high quality product instead of something like the Bamboo Fun, which may end up holding her back.

Ours stopped working after 4 months, would not recommend this kids tablet. It pretty much works like a regular tablet, you can download games and apps but doesn't have much memory and obviously doesn't last very long.

Some parts of it would be OK for a 2 year old. Our 3 yo loves it, but has a hard time with some of the more advanced games. Loves the sing alongs tho.

Could you expand on what difficulties your 6 year old has with the DS. Is it the size of the screen, buttons, etc? Or the games being too difficult? Or something else?I already own a DS (for myself) and am debating buying a couple of the children's learning games for my son (3yrs but he is advanced) to use on my system instead of buying him his own system like the Leapster.

I see your post is a year old but I'll answer in case someone else is curious. my daughter is the same age and reading very well. I would say skip the Dora and Princess games - they get zero play here. The games's my daughter seems to come back to over and over again are Pet Pals, Puzzled and Junie B Junes (they no longer make it but you can find it on ebay for under $15)

It's best for kids that can read some...but ages out by 10. You can get "older" apps from Google Play, which extends the age range a little, but those apps are sometimes glitchy on the MEEP.

There are few apps that come with it, but they are very basic, lame and boring (like Pets, drawing/coloring). I never bought apps on it yet. My son who is almost 2 prefers to play with my iPad it's more fun and interesting plus you get a lot more apps for free from Apple. I'm not sure how old your child is but I do not recommend it.

Well My daughter is 4 and she got bored with it, they don't have much but maybe they make games for older kids I am not really sure but to be honest I wouldn't buy it for a 7yr old my Son is 7 and he says her tablet is for babies so if I were you I would maybe look into getting your 7 year old a Kindle Fire or another kind of Tablet that is for Older Children

Yes, we have been enjoying this tablet. My daughter enjoys downloading games on it.
