The game is an excellent activity game for our 3 and 5 year old sons. They play this together and also at play dates and all kids have a blast.- The activity cards made from a soft synthetic material (somewhat like thin rubber but very flexible, not plastic). They are durable and doesn't look like they will tear very easily.- Boombox construction is like say Leapfrog toys. Good solid plastic that is well constructed and looks durable.- Boombox requires 3 AAA batteries that drain quick. Highly recommend using the Sanyo Eneloop rechargeables that last longer and are well, rechargeable.- Smaller kids can learn all about shapes, colors, and animals. Older kids (4+) can sharpen their reaction times and have a great time with the upbeat music. Love the tempo of the music, puts everyone in the mood to play.Just a well made game with educational benefits to it. Highly recommended, and makes a terrific birthday present as well.
