Our 4 year old enjoys playing this game. It includes coloring, puzzles, and dot to dot which teaches basic numerical order. Games for the younger child are hard to find for the DS and I was pleased that this one proved to be fun. It provided entertainment for our 4 year old son on a 3 1/2 hour plane ride.

4 year old boy loves it!!

I bought Crayola Treasure Adventures for my 3 1/2 year old son's 4th birthday. He loves this game!! It is very easy for him to understand, as there is no reading involved. He gets to color and put puzzles together. He gets to feel like the older kids (8 and 11) and mom and dad who play the Nintendo DS games as well. I recommend it!

Great for the kids

My 4-year-old and even 2-year-old love this game on the DS. Not only are there many simple coloring "pages" but there puzzles and games to color and draw through as well. Recommended for learning colors, hand eye coordination and just having fun.

Finished the first night.

When I saw this game I thought great finally a game without violence. this is worth the high price(I thought). I got it for my son's 6th birthday. He did all three adventures the first night. It probably took lees than an hour. I was very disappointed that it wasn't more challenging. I liked the concept of puzzles for a DS game but this would be better for younger kids. My son has only had his DS for 3.5 months and it was definitley to easy for him.

Great Idea But....

This seemed like a great game, but... it took my 6 year old about an hour to complete in full. Once you complete the game you can't re-set it. She is really bored with it now. For the price it seems like sort of a waste of money. Not enough levels even for a 6 year old. Concept is good though; teaches counting, nice colors. But in short, I would not have spent the money for this little. I would expect WAY more from Crayola!

My daughters all love this game!

This is another great game that all of my girls enjoy (ages 9 with special needs, 7 and 3). The game is a little complicated for my three year old (just turned three) to do the puzzles without help, but she loves coloring and all of my girls ask constantly to play the game. I would recommend this game! We buy all of our games for ds based on ratings from ign.com and this game rated very well on there. Also, amazon was great and shipping was fast- this game is actually very hard to find, as none of the stores around us carried it and only a few online stores. Amazon was the cheapest due to the free shipping..ebay didn't even have it!

For the kindergarten crew

This is a DS game that you can let your younger kids play without worrying about violence or inappropriate content. Although kids from eight and up may get bored very quickly, it can be played by kids as young as three, with some guidance.

There are two phases to the game, which has a little back-story about three stolen color crystals and colors disappearing all over the world. There's the Adventure mode, where you complete jigsaw puzzles, join-the-dots and speed coloring; and there's the coloring book.

Adventure Mode: Fairly easy puzzles that can be completed by most four year olds without help.
1. The Jigsaw puzzles have all the pieces the right way up, so all you need to do is find where they go and slide them in place. This is a novel way of introducing puzzle solving.
2. The Join-the-dots puzzles require only basic counting knowledge. Just touch a swirling rainbow and the puzzle appears.
3. The speed coloring game requires that you color flashing objects quickly, before a character fades away.
4. The Boss Challenge is the part where you catch a robber and color him in order to get back the missing color crystals.
5. To complete the Adventure Mode, you have to track down three robbers in different locations, unlocking crayons and coloring pages after completing each game.

This leads us to the Coloring Book, where the fun really begins.
1. By completing the Adventure Mode, you will now have 120 crayons to play with and 110 different pictures in six categories, namely dinosaurs, vehicles, farm, ocean, zoo and adventure.
2. Simple button options allow you to choose colors, erase mistakes, use a narrow or wide tipped coloring tool, and even choose between crayon and marker.
3. After coloring the object on the screen, you can also add grass, trees, sky or whatever your imagination requires.

The game saves itself as you go along, but in case you want to start all over again, there's a reset option. During play, a character named Tip provides helpful hints, but as there's no audio for this feature, basic reading skills may be required.

The only two negative aspects are that the three adventures all play the same types of games, which get boring after a while, and that the game is overpriced, all things considered.

Once the adventure is over, ask your kids to let you have a turn coloring - you'll find that it's great fun, but please remember that you have to give it back.

I bought this game for my daughter who will be 4 in february. She absolutely loves it! She's able to do the games on her own. Her favorite part is doing the puzzles. There are also connect the dots and of course the coloring book. It's great, because once she beats one part of the game, it unlocks more pictures in the coloring book as well as more colors in the crayon box. Highly recommended! It's her favorite game at the moment.

Great for beginners!

I bought this for my six year old who is new to the video game craze. She received this and her Nintendo DS for Christmas. She loves this game, it is easy and fun for kids just beginning to navigate. She got some other games that she got very frustrated with because she just wasn't able to navigate them, but she loves this one the most, by far.
