Well, when we evacuated to my parents for Ike, everytime he asked his cousin to play it, she would decide she wanted it, and a fight would ensue. He had asked for one, we told him maybe for Christmas. He played with them occasionally, but would watch the owners play with them too.

This summer I worked at and he attended a summer camp where the kids were allowed to bring theirs to play during free time. Before that he had played his cousin's, who is a year younger than he is. My son had never really been exposed to one until this summer. My husband and I have decided that if we ever have a "big" video game system in our house it will be the Wii because you actually move around to play it.Īnyway, as for the DS. I have never been a fan of video games because I believe that they are one of the contributors to childhood obesity. I liked the V-Smile because the games were educational. We had not gotten him any of the "older" games yet. However, in the last couple of years he had gotten to where he really enjoyed it. He had trouble at first understanding what he needed to do. My son, who is 6 now, had a V-smile (not handheld, we lost it in Ike though) that we got for him when he was 3 1/2. Have fun!įor a 4yo I would most likely buy the Leapster 2. Again the DS is great toy designed for older kids. Now Jake is in 5th grade and hundres of dollars worth of games, but we have to replace his DS, because the pixels are fading into stripes and the hinges to open and close it are broken. These little DS's are like little computers and will get broken after lots of use. It is great for him, he got his in 3rd grade and has grown with his.

I like the DS because my son has to READ to know how to navigate through any game. Again, the DS it really designed for a child who needs to read. Even the dog games require reading, such as naming your pet, and going to the store and purchasing supplies. Again, my daughter has played on her big brothers DS, but only with his and my help. Until you child can read, you mom will doing most the playing and navigating on the DS. The thing with the DS is that most of the games require reading and good hand eye coordination. Now that she is learning to read we may get her a DS for Christmas. Once I walk her through a game she can manage to play with it completely on her own.Ī DS on the other hand is totally designed for an older child. It was great for my daughter from 4 years old and now she'll be turning 6 in Dec.

Plus if they loose it or break it is much easier to simply replace. Personally, I beleive the Leapster is designed for younger children the way it fits in their hands and is much more durable.
