I'm looking for community levels appropriate for my 2-year-old daughter. She can breeze through Rookie Test, but it would be nice to have some variety. Levels with a lot of dying or complicated grappling hook sections are too much. It's hard to search for this in the game, so I was hoping someone had some suggestions. Thanks!

You could try to make some for her yourself, you probably know a lot more than we do. Other than that, I can't think of any, but if I find one, I'll edit the post and post a link.

thanks for the idea i would like to make her levels, but unfortunately, that's one of the things about being a dad: not a lot of spare time! maybe i'll get a chance sometime...

I would suggest making levels yourself, you might like making levels for your daughter. My first level, VR Obstacle Course 1 (Hey, I'm not that good with naming my levels) could be a level she can beat, not so sure about my other levels though, as I increased their difficulties from VR 1. EDIT: I've been sniped! I can't get any easy levels out of my head right now.

Good to see you're getting your daughter into gaming at an early age But yeah, as others have said, you should try making your own levels. It doesn't even have to take that long, since all you want are simple levels, right? Another thing I'd suggest is asking your daughter to draw out some of her level ideas, and then you she can help you make them in Create mode.

Recent studies suggest it's probable that exposing a child to Television, computer, video games, etc., can cause future social issues such as seclusive behavior and social-awkwardness. But back on topic, you'd be hard pressed to find any community levels as easy as The rookie test, as those levels wouldn't be very riveting to older players. I know it's tough to find spare time, but who knows, you might surprise yourself if you commit yourself to a certain amount of time every day/week. You could also try just asking someone to make something simple. Their are a lot nice people in the LBP community, and if it's a simple level, it shouldn't take very long to make. Also try filtering the search to only display LBP1 levels, as those aren't very complex, and we had a lot more "nooby" creations back in the beginning of LBP1 than in LBP2. Hope I helped

Bah, those are some miths moms make up to get their kids away from he games. there's no real proof tbh, its more about their personality and environment in which they live, wether they play video games has nothing to do with it. I've been able o make friends and socialize very well all the way to high school, even today, I live a quite good social life, and been a gamer for as long as I can remember. I've also met some other gamers with regular social lifes. So don't don't worry about it, wether people are social or not, has little to nothing to do with gaming and more as how and where the child is raised.

I don't think a 2 year old should really be using a computer console (but hey, it's your kid ) Especially one with a rumble-pack on it. You should be waiting till their hands are better formed (notice they don't sell "Toddler Sized" wireless controllers) before you get them using consoles. You don't know what long term exposure to gripping a games console controller over their entire life will have on their hands. (plus the deliberately psychologically addictive nature of games will have on their personality - a 2 year old won't have the mental capacity to resist)

Well my levels won't do. They are either puzzle, hard or otherwise not good for that young. However, you should check ruof's li'l platformer. Very simple. Man, I should be a level creator for kids! Ye, it's really a shame that most of levels in LBP2 are complicated. Too complicated for kids, I mean. However I strongly suggest playing LBP1 levels or making them yourselves. Now that you mentioned, I should really make a simple level for everyone to play. And I believe I will! Soon. However here are few suggestions: -Make levels yourselves -Try levels yourself before playing with your girl -Play LBP1 levels Or if you want you should make a community contest with a big price of making a simple level that'll do with younger players. This would be great way to find new levels! Of course it'll take some time. Try ruof's li'l platformer. Both of them are simple but 2 is a bit more challenging due the grappling hook. You should also say, if you want me to make an easy and simple platforming level for your daughter. I would love to help because I'm always very sensitible person when it comes to stuff like this. PM me or send message thru PS3! I'll be on a lot.

This study was done on children being exposed to television, social media websites (Facebook, IM, etc), games for very prolonged periods of time, in the 5-9 hours a day range, 7 days a week. This study was also based on children not having contact outside of the home environment (i.e, not going outside with friends, family, relatives, etc) and being secluded. The study itself proves nothing other than a kid who stays inside 7 days a week playing video games and watching TV all day will have social issues. However, studies have proven children whom have their brains stimulated while in early stages of development (3-6 years old) through computer use, television and other forms of activities are likely to have an increase in hand-eye coordination, a longer attention span and are less likely to develop learning disabilities (outside of genetics) as it helps stimulate the sector of the brain which is used for problem solving. Just sayin'. On Topic:: I need to get into the hang of the tools in create mode before I dive into the more advanced levels I have planned out. So if you don't mind nothing super splendid, out of this world, and is something your daughter could just get through, i'd be more than happy to put out a level today (if I have time. Depends on how long this chapter of C programming takes me). Mind you though, it won't be anything super crazy. It will be just a little bit of puzzle solving, jumping and fun super ramps! I will keep puzzles small, such as stuff like unlocking doors with a key and whatnot. (:

When I grew up a little, I got PS! Then I got a computer and played WoW all day (don't do that). I got PSP and played it a lot. I was 16 and got PS3 with money I had saved from my literally. Now? I'm 18 and have PS3, play it every day and enjoy my life. No grippings or anything. Only slightly more agilitical fingers. It is mainly just mothers that make up this kind of stuff when their kids are at puberty and don't socialize with their mothers. If you have gripping issues when you are 80, you can't blame video games. And many people have gripping issues in their lives. Gamers and non-gamers. Does it mean that non-gamers play too much games? NO! Does it mean that gamers play too much games? YES! This is stuff that people shouldn't take seriously. Only hand issue I've ever had was when I had my finger broken at the elementary school's woodwork class. It's not video games fault that happened! This shouldn't be taken seriously.

I had exactly the same problem with my little sister. She's 5 now but was 3 when she first played LBP and her gaming skills where negligible. She loved playing the first story level, but after that the levels got too hard with swinging and advanced jumping. There is some levels out there intended for kids but most of them are quite shoddy and not very child proof. (Places to get wedged and the like) So I started my own level range, The Little Small Levels. These are made specifically for young children. I tried to make them moderately pretty and varied but the main focus is low difficulty, 0 places to get stuck and 0 things to kill you. The skill level varies from, walking, to basic jumping, to button pressing, to simple grabbing. I've only made four so far and have not finished any new ones for lpb2 yet. I'll likely spruce up the old levels with the new tools at some point. The four ones out sofar are: The Little Small Level Walking The Little Small Level: Gardens Walking, basic jumping and a simple button press. The Little Small Level: Jungle Walking, basic jumping and some jet pack flying. The Little Small Level: The Island Walking and basic jumping are the only required skills, grabbing for additional fun. Hope your kids will enjoy the levels just as much as my lil sisters does each time she visits!

So you are 18 and don't have any problems with your hands caused by "long term" use of video games. - so therefore - ALL accounts of people who have had problems associated with excessive use are bunkum? Surely you can see the flaw in your logic. Come back when you are 40/50 years old - complaining of chronic/constant pain when your hands go into the position used to grip a games controller (I've seen it happen with plenty of 40/50 years old who have problems gripping a mouse - caused by long term over-use) - and say that "This shouldn't be taken seriously" You are not old enough yet to be exposed to "long term" use... My generation is the first to be exposed to it. If you ever play till your hands go numb, then you are storing up problems for the future. The easy solution - take regular breaks (why do you think all games tell you to stop playing and take a break every once in a while?)

Would all of you Jack Thompson grumps please quit complaining. He is looking for levels for his daughter to enjoy. Who are any of you to even bother putting your word in? He wants his daughter to have fun.

thanks for all the responses! it's true that too much TV/video games is not good for kids, and i appreciate the concern people have. in our family, Little Big Planet is the only screen time they get all day -- no TV or anything else. (i have a 4 year old son too.) they play 30-45 minutes, and they play together, which is nice, and we're happier with them playing a game like this than watching a TV show. it's a choice every family must make, and we're happy at this level. i'll add that the one type of level i don't let them play is when you shoot at an opponent -- research has shown that video games where you're trying to do harm to an opponent are linked to negative behavior patterns, even when the harm is something as seemingly harmless as shooting paint pellets. anyway, last night we played through Amrita's four-level series, the Little Small Levels, and they were perfect! a little too easy for my 4-year-old (who can do almost every story level), but still entertaining for him, and great for the daughter. i'm going to try the other level suggestions next time we play! thanks

The easy solution - take regular breaks (why do you think all games tell you to stop playing and take a break every once in a while?) Cool story bro. I'm 22 years old and have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I'v been gaming since I was 3 years old. My Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is due to computer use as it's my job. So. I developed CTS (in a specific pattern in my right hand, which leads my specialist to believe it has absolutely nothing to do with video games) and has to do entirely with the fact I repair and work on computers 9 hours a day. Since the damage pattern in my hand is inconsistent with the form a human hand takes when holding onto controllers, and it more specifically based around how the hands are held//used when working on typing and fixing computers, does that mean my career choice was bad? Should I not of spent 3 years in college becoming a network administrator because, I was unlucky enough to develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? When you're 40/50 years old, and ANYTHING is wrong with you WHATSOEVER, try not to say "IT WAS VIDEO GAMES, DEAR GOD THEY RUINED ME". Since there are untold amounts of possibilities that can lead to ANY health issues. You do realize, my father has trouble using a mouse for extended periods of time, why? Hes 55. HES OLD. It's old age. Over time, you're going to develop problems, that you can't specifically link to anything. I don't, for a second, believe you know seniors whose hands are stuck in "holding controller" position. Especially due to the fact, anyone of that age would of played Atari most of their life, and that would assume by the time NES came out, they'd developed this condition after 20 years... which makes no sense since both controllers are held and used differently, requiring different muscles in each hand. Go hug Jack Thompson.

Guys - enough with the debate - he didn't ask for your take on age appropriate gaming or long term chronic health conditions.... Level suggestions only please. I know the first two of my Chroma Stone Chronicles are fairly easy.... ok, really easy. lol. the 4 year old should be able to play a few of them, the 2 year old probably just the first two. Good luck finding levels - bet there's more out there to find and if not, make some with your kids. Double the fun!

A lot of the Vs games are quite simple, and great fun in multiplayer. You can tell if it's a Vs level because it's icon will look like this: http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/4271/vsgame.png See that thing at the top with the two sackpeople heads? That shows it's a Vs level.

I'm 45. A hardcore gamer since before there was PONG. Father of 4 young boys. so this makes me an expert right... There's a reason why there are no 'age appropriate levels' for your two year old daughter to play... because it's not appropriate. Sorry. Really, I know its just my opinion but it stands to reason doesn't it? <3 I am sorry to be the one to inform you of this... that" E" sticker on the cover, LBP is suggested for beings of the age 6+ and while I'm really not a 'ratings-guy'...(this one time I'll make the exception). There is an EC (early childhood) sticker you could be on the lookout for... but why stop there? Maybe we can develope "PN" (Pre-Natal) games for expectant mothers to play... I'm thinking the force feedback controller would be a big hit! On other fronts I started a "Yo Gabba Gabba!" Level in LBP1... maybe I'll pick it up again, still I think you'd be better served popping in a bluray... may I suggest 'Zombieland'?

I would suggest one of my levels, or make one, but everything I make ends up a little... complicated, or... brokenesque. Basically, most players have a hard enough time getting through my levels already.

My nephew Jimmy is two, and can finish the rookie test and Fowl Play, but that's it. Every time he's over he asks "Play big chicken now?" I don't have the heart to tell him it's a turkey! I made him a simple level with lot's of bubbles and bounce pads. He loves it.
