Richard Scarry's Busytown Seek & Find Game, Preschool Learning, Ages 3+

I have an 8 and a 4 year old so it can be tricky to find games simple enough for the younger one, but enjoyable for the older one. This game fits the bill! I played it separately with each child, on the level 1 cards, and they both had fun, the 8yr old saying “I like this game! Can we play another round?” The incentive of ringing the bell is perfect this age range, and the search aspect is basically like a where’s Waldo type of enjoyment. The game itself is well made with quality cardboard, spinner and a real metal bell with a gentle (not annoying) ding sound. It’s the most complex game (in terms of number of steps/rules) that my youngest has played and he picked it up really well. This game promotes turn taking, counting, rule following, and excellent color/shape/object recognition skills. And it’s entertaining enough for me to play with my kids without it being mind-numbing! I also like that it has Level 2 search cards for when they advance in skill. If your kids enjoy Hi-Ho Cheerio but are ready for something a little harder, this would be a great next game!

This game is really fun and easy for kids to follow. It feels like a real game and yet simple enough for toddlers. My daughter is almost 3 and asks for this game every night.

What a fun game for preschoolers and kindergarteners. It has levels that you can play which makes it fun for all ages. The bell is a big hit, but the rules tell the players that if they ring it out of turn there is a consequence. Great teaching moment. The board is quite long, but as any Richard Scarry book the detail is fabulous.

Love this game! So much fun and my grandson loves how he remembers where the various characters are!

Our toddler loves this game. Mastered it quickly and loves to play it with all members of the family. Just wish games were the quality they used to be and pieces were sturdier.

Fun game for my toddler grandson. He is still a little young for it, but I can see this being something he will love to play as he gets older. The adults who played with him seemed to enjoy it. My grandson is 2 1/2, but this is a great game for at least the age of 3 years and up. If you grew up reading the Busy Town books, you will enjoy it. It is an easy setup, and the instructions are clear. All the pieces fit nicely in the box it comes with. There are two levels of card difficulty, which makes it a game you can play multiple times, and it will grow with the child. It is an excellent value for the money.

My 4 year old grandson loves playing this game & always beats me on locating the items on the cards.

Very cute! Keeps my grandkids ages 3& 4 entertained.

Updated version, but all good!

Fun for the whole family! My 5yo enjoyed the Level 1 cards a lot. Once we’ve gone through those we’ll try the Level 2 cards.
