Best DS games for children (age 5-7 )

[TwingleMum]

I have 3 boys (4,4 and 7.5 ) I'm contemplating buying Nintendo DS for Christmas. What are the best DS games for kids??? Any good games that are fun/educational?? Some of their fav characters are Nemo, Monsters Inc, Star Wars and Indiana Jones. They like Hockey and animals. We have Wii and already have Star Wars and Indiana Jones for Wii. Any help is appreciated.

Animal Crossing, any of the Nintendogs & Lego Star Wars always seem to get repeated play around here.

The DS has a good number of Mario games available as well. My kids like the games where they can link up to play against each other.

Yes, I think these are definates. My one twin loves the Nemo PC game we have and Thomas still.

The Mario games are always good. My DS6 and DS3 both love, love, love Yoshi's Island. It is probably their favorite.
