Parents should set clear expectations and budgets for purchasing additional Skylanders figures. Encourage children to experiment with the figures they already own to maximize creative play and strategic thinking, rather than constantly seeking new purchases. Focus on the adventure and problem-solving aspects of the game.

Development Areas
Representation?How diverse the game's characters are in gender and ethnicity. Higher = more authentic representation. Display only — does not affect time recommendation.
Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.— N/A — no named characters
The game features fantastical creatures, making the Bechdel test inapplicable.
Parent Pro-Tip
Managing figure purchases helps control costs and teaches children to value and make the most of their existing resources. Focusing on gameplay benefits cognitive development and creative problem-solving.
