Bought the Leapster for my 3 kids (8, 6 and 3 1/2) and my 8 yo especially likes the SpongeBob game. He is learning words, math, money counting (or reinforcing -- he already knows some of these skills -- 3rd grade). He said that "this is better than a gameboy -- a lot more fun". He has a gameboy advance SP about about 30+ games. Imagine that -- and he learns something with the Leapster. I am loving it. I will buy more software as it comes out (also already bought Dora -- 3 yr old loves, Kindergarten, 1st grade and Mr. Pencil's Learn to Draw as well as SpongeBob). Would love to get my hands on Math Baseball for my 3rd grader to practice multiplication math facts!!!!
