My little one absolutely LOVES this Mr. Pencil game!

She's 3 1/2 and we are in the process of learning to write shapes & letters and this game is perfect for helping little ones learn about about writing and drawing.

The game takes you through the town of Doodleburg & your child has to repair the damage done to the town from a twister by drawing shapes, lines & more... sounds sorta sad, but there is a really funny news crew & lots of great characters that really make this a fun game.

I am really impressed that not only is my child having fun & practicing letters and shapes, but she's also learning too.

The game teaches all about the actual types of lines & the distinguishing features of each shape, as well as letter.

The other day my little one asked me if I knew about the letter "l"... she said, you know "l" is really a perpendicular line don't ya? Pretty great for a 3 1/2 year old to already know about perpendicular lines! I highly recommend this game!

I have seen the negative reviews out there about this game regarding its sensitivity and frustration and I couldn't agree with them more. I was looking forward to this so my 4 1/2 year old could practice writing numbers and letters, however it is way too sensitive. When tracing the line you have to start exactly at the circle and stay pretty much exactly on the lines and not lift up the stylus at all. If you do, it starts all over. This is beyond frustrating, I am about to return it at this point since she can't even get her letters/numbers to show up half the time. I can see her tracing properly but b/c she doesn't have it pressed down all the way or exactly on the line there is no progress made. How are young kids supposed to learn this way??? Not encouraging at all!!! Come on Leap Frog, you can do better than this.

      Very pleased with this game! My son did not want anything to do with a pencil, coloring, drawing, etc. After playing this game maybe three times, he has started drawing on his own!

      By ju2ne

      from Canton, MI

      Comments about LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game - Mr. Pencil Saves Doodleburg:

      Granddaughter is frustrated with this game. Do you need the original Mr. Pencil to use this game? I don't see anywhere on here that says to purchase that one in order to get this one. Can someone tell me please? Maybe then we can figure out this game so that our granddaughter will like this game more. Thank you.

      FRUSTRATING GAME

      By HateThisGame

      from Canada

      Comments about LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game - Mr. Pencil Saves Doodleburg:

      Bought this game for our daughter while on vacation last week, because it isn't available for her system (Leapster GS) in our area. Well, she enjoys the color aspect of it, but it's almost as though the game doesn't 'fit in the screen'..... The lines are IMPOSSIBLE to draw, and even I can't make a stupid line on the screen with the stylist. I've been using a NAIL from my toolbox because it's the only thing that's sharp enough to make a line, and I have to be a quarter inch up (or down) from the line, and it game then says I'm on it, it's awful. There are no settings to 'reformat' the screen, my daughter, (nor I) can get ahead in any of the games because we can't make a straight line in the first part of the game...... Wish I could submit a movie of how un-user friendly this game is. GARBAGE!!!!!

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

          Great game. However, my 4 year old was frustrated with having to follow the shape drawings. It kept asking her to draw again, and she would hand it to me to do for her. I guess this is part of learning, but she ended up "trading" this game with her 6 yr old sister for something easier and "more fun." On the other hand, my 6 year old, who is more patient, liked following the instructions and tried to make the shapes "perfectly" like the game wanted you to. Game is educational!

          Comments about LeapFrog Explorer Learning Game - Mr. Pencil Saves Doodleburg:

          This game hasn't interested my child as much as the Math and Science apps.. but that could be just because my child loves math and science. He says he still likes this game, but if I had to do it again, may have invested in a different one for his interests.

                  I bought this for my kindergartner and she has had a lot of fun playing this game. It is quite easy for her but she seems to enjoy the stories that go along with it and goes back to play more. She gets a little frustrated at the lessons for writing letters and numbers but its good practice anyway. My older son has played with it a bit but gets bored quickly. Even so, they still want to get the expansion packs and related items.

                          This is my 3-year-old's favorite game for her LP2. She has spent the most time playing it. She also has Dora, Disney Fairies, Cinderella and Kai-lan which she enjoys, but this is her current favorite. The animation is a bit crude, but it does not seem to bother her. She told me that she "LOVES" Mr. Pencil because he is so funny. She loves drawing the shapes and writing the letters. It has captured her attention more than just using a piece of paper. She does not like the part with the reporter and always turns the volume down because she says "I already heard this part". I highly recommend this game.

                            I bought this for my 4yr son who struggles with hand writing and gripping the pencil. He LOVES this game! He loves writing his letters now and drawing. Before I would buy him workbooks to help him but he would lose interest really fast. Now every time he finish fixing up a location he says "Mommy, I did it!!" Thanx Leapfrog!!
