There is a slew of toys and games for sale, revolving around the loveable Diego, often with the Go Diego Go theme song somehow tied into them, to give them a little more authenticity.  You can find Go Diego Go blocks, Go Diego Go bikes and tricycles, Go Diego Go dolls, Go Diego Go helicopters and even Go Diego Go costumes!

Some of my favourite Go Diego Go games are those made by Fisher Price such as their Go Diego Go Dinosaur Rescue Mountain, and the Talking Rescue Center. Of course if your child is already into Bakugan Toys then they may not be as thrilled to play with these, but for the younger set they are fantastic!

The Go Diego Go 123 Game has received mixed reviews. There are ten different game boards, and each player (up to four can play at a time) can choose the animal game board according to what the animal does, i.e. flies, crawls, etc.  The game itself is almost like a type of ‘Bingo’ where you pull an animal out of a bag and place it on your game board if it matches.  Most three to four year olds enjoy playing the game and matching the animals but some older four year olds and on may soon tire of the game.  It is really a perfect Go Diego Go game for the young child that is just starting out playing board games.

If you’re looking for Go Diego Go costumes and costume items there are quite a few to choose from. A complete Go Diego Go costume costs anywhere from $30 to $50 depending on where you buy it and what size it is.  The Diego Animal Rescuer backpack costs around $12 and can be bought on its own.  If you are looking for more specialized Go Diego Go dress up items you could check out the Fisher Price Go Diego Go Animal Rescue gear, although be warned that the vest is made from very thin, lightweight material and is not terribly durable. Most children enjoy playing with the accessories though, which include a water canteen, binoculars, and a play cell phone.

There are also some great Leapfrog Tag readers featuring Go Diego Go adventures such as Go Diego Go: Underwater Mystery, or if you’re looking for an educational computer game they also produce those at a very reasonable price. As with most toys or educational games, it helps to know your child and what they like before buying these.

Other fun items you might be interested in if you have very young children who still like to play with bath toys are the Go Diego Go bath squirt toys which can even double as a swimming pool toy.  They would be guaranteed to keep your child occupied and having fun in the bath for quite some time.

Another play item that is guaranteed to keep most kids occupied for a long time, happily playing, is the Play-Doh Diego playset. Children have hours of fun with play doh, and this themed set that includes animal molds, a vehicle, and a roller that makes mysterious animal tracks!

With this particular game your child will travel through time, along with Diego and best friend Baby Jaguar to help Maia the Maiasaura find her way home.  There are a total of 5 levels to search through on the way to Egg Island. Of course during the course of the rescue there is tons of action, including rock climbing, monkey bars and jumping on a pogo stick to name just a few. It is also full of puzzles and lots of other fun activities.  It boasts having over twelve remote actions, including climbing, flapping, pulling and stomping.

Made specifically with the two, three and four year olds in mind, the game’s simple yet intuitive menu is easy enough for most four year olds to navigate by themselves, and while the younger children may need help with the menus and moving onto different sections generally it is simple enough for them to make the plays themselves with very little supervision.

It is not necessarily considered an educational game, but then again what Wii game is, but it does live up to its promise of lots of fun and adventure.  There’s minimal teaching about animals, something that is highly featured in the TV show and videos, and the main way it could be considered education is that it of course teaches the child to follow directions, and using the Wii controller is also a good way to teach hand to eye control for the youngsters.

One point to note is that while two children can play the game in some instances, it is primarily a one-player game, and the main person playing even when two can definitely has more fun with it. So, if you have two young ones who you anticipate would like playing Go Diego Go Safari Rescue, then make sure you’re prepared to teach them to take turns!

It seems to be geared more specifically at three year olds, when it comes to the newness and complexity. It’s difficult enough for the three year old for it to be challenging, yet not so difficult that they can’t get through the game.  While four year olds and even older children enjoy Go Diego Go Safari Rescue, they can begin to lose interest faster once they’ve finished the game for the first time. Three year olds seem to thrive on repetition, though, and will often play the game through many times and still retain their interest and delight in playing it.
