For children aged 3+, I recommend the fun Color Forms game. It helps
your little kids recognize important concepts as color and form, and even
numbers. This easy game's goal is to collect all different colored pieces
and get to Abuela’s house. Children can choose between four different
characters (Dora, Boots, Tico the squirrel and Isa the Iguana), and can
be played in three different ways: By colors (age 3+), by numbers (age
4+) and even by both colors and numbers (recommended for age 6+).
The game's cards are big enough to appeal any child, and they contain
descriptions in both English and Spanish. As all Dora the Explorer games,
your children will sometimes face the villainous fox Swiper, who will try to
steal all of the collected colored forms from your kids. This game is
especially interesting if there are three or more players.

For single players, you should probably choose a Dora the Explorer
videogame. These games keep your kids entertained while helping then
develop their skills. I recommend the Lost City Adventure videogame (for
kids aged 3-6), in which your kid must help Dora find her missing favorite
teddy bear. Dora and Boots must travel to the Lost City, the magic place
where every lost object ends up. In the way, Dora will also help some of
her friends find their lost items. This game helps your children develop
his/her thinking and math abilities, as well as his/her problem solving
skills.

Another great videogame in the Dora the Explorer games series is the
FairyTale Adventures videogame. In this game, your child will help Dora
in her quest to wake Boots from a magic spell. In order to do so, Dora
must become a true princess! The game will take your preschooler kid in
a journey through Fairy Tale Land, where classic fairy tales take place.
Dora’s quest to become a princess involves puzzle solving and also
playing songs from the TV show. This game will allow your child to
improve his/her puzzle solving abilities and thinking skills. The game's
play pack even includes a small cute Dora the Explorer doll.

Of course, there are a lot more Dora the Explorer games available to
choose from. They represent a great way for your children to learn and
improve useful skills. Bringing home an educational Dora the Explorer
game for your children will not only be a great surprise for them, but will
also be highly beneficial for their development. Besides, children just love
Dora the Explorer games!
