I want recommendations for DS games

choccyface2006

My niece who is 5 is having a Nintendo DS (not a DSI) for her birthday in a few weeks. She has seem my daughter on hers but her games are too complex.

Since she can hardly read at the moment, what sorts of games would be good for her?

Thanks

My daughter is also 5 and loves her Peppa Pig and Dora (Dora Saves the Mermaid and Dora Saves The Snow Princess) games. Both of these are easy enough for her to get on with without any help from me. She also plays Cooking Mama 2 with me but does need a bit of help at times.

If you want reviews on games, have a look on Amazon, most games on there have customer reviews which might or might not help you.

Other games we play together are Carnival and Dogz but we tend to do these together.

Hope this helps.

you get always get and r4 card for ds and download games for her to try them out to see which ones suit her and that way you can take games off and on as you like

Oh yes, forgot about I did It Mum although my daughter has kind of outgrown that one now - I think the recommended age is 3-5 so your daughter might be too old also.

Didnt realise they did a Wonder Pets one too, might have to get that one lol.
