Is this game too difficult for a 4 year old?

I bought this game for my 6 & 4 year old girls. The part that my 4 year old has problems with is where it shows something cooking, and you have to either flip it over or take it off the grill when it verbally tells you the degrees. She doesn't know her numbers that high so it does get a little frustrating for her. Other than that, this is their favorite game. She plays it anyway, despite not knowing her numbers. If I hear the game tell her a temperature, I will tell her the numbers, like 1 1 0, and she will know it then. Hope that helps!

My son is four and this is his favorite game. He does OK at the math (sometimes we have to help him figure it out). he finds the "flipping" section the most difficult - just the action of doing it for some reason is hard for him. However he plays for HOURS and has unlocked most of the levels now.

I think it would certainly be appropriate. The game moves up in complexity as the child grasps the more basic concepts. I have a 6.5 year old daughter who enjoys this game very much and finds it challenging enough not to be boring.

Yes. I played it with my 10 year old grandson and it was challenging as I play to win (and he beat me).

My 7 and 8 year olds do great with it. My 5 year old struggled. He mostly just runs around and hits things. The Lego games are great because they are much like puzzles. You have to try and figure out the sequence of actions are before you can move forward. This proves a little challenging for my 5 year old and I would think most 4-5 year olds would enjoy it for the fact that they can "be Iron Man" or other character but they won't progress much in the game on their own and may get bored after a few minutes and want "help". Hope that helps.

Yes definitely suitable. The speed of the game will be slow initially but once the kids get hold of the game, you will be amazed at their observation n quickness. My boy and his friends enjoyed this game alot. They are all 4 yrs old.

Yes. My son was just a little over 2 when he got his. Now some games are challenging for him and requires help from a parent or his 5yr old brother; but for the most part he learned how to use it very quickly on his own!

I don't think it's too easy. It won't be difficult, but will keep an 8 yr. Old busy. There are creattive activities, i think an 8 yr. Old would like.

This is a pretty simple game. But certain strategies a more experienced player could use may merit the game less fun. A young (8+) player could definitely play.

The games are not very challenging for older children. In my opinion it is programmed for children ages 3-6. My son is 8 and shows no interested in it, however, all children's interests and learning capacities differ from age to age. My 4 year old gets the most use out of the Vtech laptop.

No not at all. Very challenging and both my toddler and preschooler are very advanced in fine motor skills.

I checked with my 12 year old and he said the game might be too challenging for a 5 year old, can be done with lots of parental help. He thinks 8 might be a better age but if your grandson is really good on the computer he may be able to have some fun with this.

I would think the regular version woukd still be too difficult my 4 1/2 yr old likes the jr game and can play with little assistance and I like playing too

I don't think so, unless you have a very big room. I also don't think it's much of a challenge for a four year old. I bought this for my 4 year old twin grandchildren and they barely used it.

As always...it depends on the child. How is his fine motor coordination? Is he patient and determined? My son is suited well for all of the above. I gave him the Rookie when he was 11 he finished it in a couple days. He really enjoyed going back to it and doing it over and over again so the replay value is really good on these things. I got him the Epic when he turned 12 (this past August) and he really enjoys it. He is still working on it. There are several places that are really hard to get past. It has 125 points to master. The Original has 100. The Rookie has 70. You might not want to get him anything harder than the Original. If it is too hard, it might just cause frustration and end up sitting on a shelf... or smashed against a wall.

It is more complex than Settlers of Catan. Their are a lot of rules and the set up alone can scare many people off of it. It is a fun game, but for someone so young it may be a bit overwhelming. On the game box it recommends 14 and up

Not at all! The animals that are the same tend to be different size, making your brain (even as a parent!) work a little harder to Spot It! :) I would definitely recommend this game to your 4 year old if they like those kinds of books. :)

I think an easier level. My husband and I have only gotten to number 5 on this. It sits on my dresser and we are going to let my 38 year old son try. It is very challenging, I had no idea it would be this hard. I'd try an easier level for your child. And you can't take up from where you dropped off , you have to start over again. A lot of dexterity, patience, and holding your breath. But it is nice to look at.
