This was originally purchased for my 2nd daughter's 5th birthday. She enjoyed it for awhile, but then it got put on a shelf and forgotten. About a year later I pulled it out for my 3 year old and she loves it! She usually plays the game by herself, since her sister's are older, but it still teaches her shapes/colors/letters/numbers. I love that the bones are stored right in the backpack. Oh, and this game has been dropped down the stairs numerous times and is still going strong! Overall, it's a great educational game for 2-4 year olds.
I purchased this toy for my 2 year old son, however, it it my 3 1/2 year old daughter who is playing with it. When the dog tells the kids which bone to choose, the kids can't be making too much noise because then it is too hard to hear what color or number he is saying. Aside from that, very cute game and they seem to enjoy it!
This is my sons all time favorite toy. He's only 4 but he says "i've waited my whole life for Red Rover, Red Rover". He plays this game all the time and everytime we see it in the store he wants to rush home to his. The older kids like the game as well. We also loved the shopping experience we've had. We love Mattel!
