Pretty Pretty Princess Sleeping Beauty User Review

I admit I was appalled when my 3-year-old daughter received this game (the title makes me ill – I try to avoid things “pretty” and “princess-y” for my daughter), but she LOVES it so much, I had to relent. I’m not sure why it’s recommended for age 5 and up – any 3-year-old can follow this game with ease. Perhaps the reason is that part of the game involves “putting jewelry back,” or “giving up the crown” to another player, and some younger kids may have a hard time with that.

My only problems are that the game board (which is a 4-piece puzzle, a small “educational” feature of the game) tends to come apart when brushed against with little feet; and that the numbers on the spinner are hard to read, as they are merely raised plastic, and the same color as the background. That was easily fixed by outlining the numbers with a red sharpie. My daughter enjoyed decorating the box with jewels, and adores wearing all the jewelry. She often just takes out the game to play dress-up. A favorite. (Even my 6 year old son enjoys playing it with his sister – it gives him a rare excuse to put on jewelry! He thinks it’s a hoot.)
