Children ages 4-7 can join Barbie in solving a mystery across Malibu, where someone has been stealing shoes, sparkly items, and cupcakes. The game incorporates reading and problem-solving skills to track down the culprit. Parents and educators can create personalized spelling lists for children, who then spell words correctly to operate a glittery silk screen machine. The activity reinforces spelling, phonics, word sounds, rhymes, listening skills, and reading comprehension. Compatible with LeapPad learning tablets, LeapsterGS, and Leapster Explorer systems (each sold separately).
