Alternative to a DS for a 4 yo girl?

[SGertie]

Dd wants a Nintendo DS for Xmas as her older brother has one. I think she's too young so wondered if you had any recommendations for alternatives - V Tech type things. She is only just 4.

Oops, meant to say V Tech or Leap pad. Anything a bit more educational - maybe with phonics, numbers etc

We got DS a V Smile pocket with games like Wall-E, Scooby Doo & Diego. He loved it.

How old is he? How long has he had it? Does he still want to play with it lots? Sorry for all the questions

Leapster 2s are pretty good and you can usually get some great deals on them around Xmas. Last year Littlewoods were especially good.

leapster 2 is great but he will probably know that its not a ds, had this problem with my youngest dc. I would buy second hand older version ds, at least they can share games , will prob work out cheaper and she will be happier .
