the game is engaging as it not only capture children's attention visually but also with interesting and soothing music for children to match with.
as children get bored with playing the game after some time, they may also move on to other follow up activities which will hold the child's interest for an extended period of time. Children will at the same time develop their creativity as they design their own music box.
for this specific game, I feel that it is suitable and targeted specially for children age 4 to 6 as children start to develop matching skills at around the age of 4.
