LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game: Scholastic Digging for Dinosaurs

Purchased this cartridge for my very active 5 year old son for Christmas. Unfortunately, I can’t speak for the educational content because I have not played the games. I can tell you however, that he loves playing this cartridge. He loves dinosaurs and this game keeps drawing him back. I think he especially likes the fact that as he earns points from each game on the cartridge he then gets to “break” rocks to uncover the dinosaur bones. Eventually, he uncovers enough bones to put together the complete dinosaur. It’s mostly just pure fun and would probably hold most boys his age interest.

We purchased this game for my 4 year old daughter. So far she’s had a lot of fun playing with it. It is fun and educational and the game gives directions which helps my daughter when she plays.

Bought this for grandson’s #5 Birthday along with Leapster II & Charger. Great game for Dinosaur lover’s. Good traveling or “stay indoors” game for children.

I love leapsters. I purchased my kids their leapsters, (3 of them) last Christmas. (11 months ago) They have been a wonderful investment. This game was a lot of fun for my dino loving son. I he got it he kept getting in trouble for sneeking off to play his game when he should be doing chores. So I love the fact that I got him something educational and fun.
