Disney Channel Game: Pretty Pretty Princess Cinderella Edition Review

Average Reviews:
4.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)Okay, I know the box says "ages 5 and up," but I think this must mostly be for the choking hazards.My daughters are ages 3.5 and 2, and we play this game a couple of times a week.

The entire premise of the game is to move your colored slipper around the board where you land on pictures of various pieces of jewelry.If you aren't already wearing what you land on, you take the piece out of the jewelry box and put it on.To win, be the first person to get your necklace, bracelet, both earrings, ring, and crown.

Pros:
*Easy to play.Very simple rules.
*Easy and fast to put away.All pieces have a definite place inside the box.
*Entertaining for my preschool daughters who pretend princess 24/7.
*Teaches basics of playing board games such as taking turns, moving the number of spaces on the spinner, congratulating the winner (we princesses curtsy to the winner), putting away the pieces when finished, etc.

Cons:
*The target ages.I would not leave my preschoolers to play with this game alone due to choking hazards and flimsy jewelry that I'm sure they would break in no time.But I doubt that an older kid would find the game fun because there's really no challenge:you just win by luck of the spin.
*Cheap, cheap jewelry.Much less durable than regular Disney princess play jewelry.After game play, you'll want to put these pieces right back in the box to keep them whole.
*Some assembly required.When you first open the box, you decorate the crown and jewelry box with tiny, plastic, sticky-backed "jewels."These are so little that even I had trouble handling them and getting them where I wanted.The idea is that the child can decorate the crown the way she wants, but I really think most small children would find the small pieces frustrating.

Bottom line:Good for teaching game play to your youngest princesses-in-training if you're willing to play along or at least supervise.Likely boring for the listed 5-and-up crew.
