These games are the newest releases from the UFO Family line of games, established in 2007. The line provides the first videogames on the Nintendo DS format developed especially for kids ages three and up.

The National Parenting Center is an organization dedicated to providing extensive information to all parents from respected family and parenting experts.

The approval of these games substantiates the high standards of The National Parenting Center as tested on its desirability, values and interactive stimulation, among other qualifications.

"A wonderful introduction to the fun of video games for the youngest of gamers…favorites were the dolphin, balloon pop and racing games," as quoted from the 2008 Fall Seal of Approval Report. "UFO knew what they were doing when they used great graphics, bright colors, cute characters and fun sound effects, because the result is a completely engaging game experience.”

"Our objective with the expansion of the Smart Kid’s Games was to continue to encourage parent-child interaction, while providing a positive learning experience," said Jonathan Wan, CEO of UFO Interactive Games. "Receiving this prestigious seal of approval from The National Parenting Center confirms that our goal of educational value and overall quality of our videogames has been met."

Smart Boy’s Toy Club and Smart Girl’s Party Game actively engage children’s creativity and sharpen coordination skills, using popular themes such as race cars, airplanes bunnies and dolls. The content provides for hours of fun interacting with any one of 18 mini-games on the Nintendo DS system using the stylus or their own fingertips, immersing themselves into a dynamic world of learning. Players can select from interactive elements like a painting easel, musical instruments and recording ability.
