What Parents Need to Know
About Gary Gadget: Building Cars
Parents need to know that this slow-paced game is perfect for kids ages 6 to 10 who like to tinker. It is not directive or linear, so kids who have grown up on fast-paced video games may find this setting too tame. This title is refreshingly old-fashioned and squeaky clean, set in a community of interesting people who all like to help each other out. No violence or other media concerns here.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the process of inventing. How do people come up with new ideas? Do they tinker with old parts and think about how they might reuse them? Do they start with a problem they want to solve and then start looking for the parts to build their solution? How does this game differ from other software/video games you have played?
