Bought this for my 3-year-old son who is learning his letters.  Thought it would compliment what he is learning in school.  It is simple enough, that he can follow the directions.  He's a little short to be able to reach everything, but the instructions state that you get points for what you can do (you don't have to do everything to score points).  I even had fun playing, so I won't complain when he asks to play.  He's just the right age to start playing this.
