Good for the younger set:
Good for the littluns...Very Simple and very entertaining.
Not much learning happening but certainly makes her eyes light up.
Kids love it, I hate it!:
We got this game for my daughter when she was 3; she's now 5. I now have a 2 1/2 year old boy who has since discovered it. Both kids love playing with it, though none of them have really used it as a game. They both just enjoy the ducks and the pond. My daughter makes up little games for the ducks, one is the "mommy" and the others are the babies. My son likes to turn the pond on and off and set up the ducks.

Perfect for a 2-4 year old!:
This is one of the first games that we got our young daughters that they were actually able to play with. And play with it they did - incessantly! My four year old still asks for it, "Mom, can we play the duck game???" As 2-3 year olds, they mostly pick up the ducks off the moving pond and try and match them to the colors on the cards - any cards. Once they get a bit older, they start to understand that everyone gets their own card and the object is to find ducks w/the right color for your card.more info
Daughter likes it, but AAAGH:
My daughter (2.5 yo) likes to play with the ducks by herself. she prefers this to actually playing the game, although she does know how to play (with a little help from me on the taking turns bit...). I always know when she wakes up from her nap when I start hearing this game quacking away over the baby monitor. We have several toys that make noise and I can pretty easily tune them out, but I have to say that this one is incredibly annoying. At least it's easy enough to turn on and off!
