I gave this game to my 4 year old, he had it down very quickly and I can't get my phone back. It looks like I'll have to buy him a tablet just for this game. It iwill keep your kids entertained for hours. Very interactive and very fun. I even had fun showing him the app myself! I would highly recommend this app
