Our 3 year old son loves this game! He has been able to play it all by himself with just a little help the first couple of times. He enjoys figuring new things out each time he plays and he is progressing rapidly in his abilities to figure the computer and programs out all by himself. This a very well-developed game.

I have found a wonderful teaching tool in the game that I never expected. My little son is learning to take turns talking! Since he cannot do anything on the game while the characters talk, he is learning to really listen to what they say. It is delightful! He has started really listening to what Mommy says, instead of dashing off to do something else. He is even learning to show more patience to his baby sister! I had never thought that a computer game would be teaching manners. Kudos to the programmers!

We've had this game for about 5 months. My two-and-a-half year old calls it "Coos coos numbers". She wants to play it everyday. Her favorite activities include picking out shapes with the "Felt Friends", sorting snacks with Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper, and counting out blocks (of all shapes and sizes) to build a toy train track. We have a lot of fun playing this together, and I never get tired of seeing the joy on her face when she shows me where the orange triangle or the green square is.

Good game BUT this is not for 3 - 6, it is for 4+. My 3 year old daughter loves all the other "3-6" games we have gotten but this one is a bit hard to use.

This game also has a delay in it where if any of the characters are talking the mouse goes away and the child can't control the game. This is on a serious game machine so it is the software not the machine.

For slightly older kids I am sure this would be a good game but not for a three year old.

My 2 cents worth....

I have 5 & 6 yr old girls. We've had this game for over a year. My 5 year old still begs to play. She has improved a lot since she first played this game. It really helps with teaching the child to listen to instructions. And the graphics are just like watching them on tv. I would recommend this to any 4-6 yr old. I think 3 is a little too young.

My wife and I purchased a computer for my (then) 3-year old's Christmas present. We also purchased some educational software for him to use, and Blue's Clues 123 Time Activities was one of the titles selected.

The software installed easily on his Windows XP-based HP computer. He was up and playing in "no time flat."

Game play is intuitive, and his favorite game is a Crazy -8s-based card game that he plays against one of Blue's Clues charming characters, a little bear. All of the games progress in difficulty depending on the child's level of success.

After winning or successfully completing a task, the player is given a certain amount of "Blue Dollars," which can be used to buy items at the prize tent. These items are accumulated and are put together (by the computer, not by the child) to form a neat object like a toy boat or toy car.

My now 4-year old still enjoys the game, and has experienced a limited amount of frustration. His mom helps to guide him often, and he also helps to guide me through some of the activities!

My 4-year-old has had this game for over a year, and while he had problems at first (with the mouse, not the game) he begs and begs to play it. It's become a reward for good listening in our house, since you have to listen to the game to play. He loves helping his "friends" in order to make money, and really feels a sense of accomplishment when he completes his job! He has a few games that he loves to play, but this is definitely one of his favorites!

We've had this game for three months now, and he still loves playing it. The sorting and train games are his favorites. This CD comes with easy to follow instructions for each game, and it includes a parent/child activity on every other page. There's also a trouble-shooting page for both Macs and PCs that Mom and Dad can use if the game isn't working properly. This game is a must for any child who loves computers, who is about to enter kindergarten, and who enjoys Blue's Clues.

Bought this for my 3 year old & she loves it. She figured it out very quickly & plays it with no help from mom! Very clever games & lots of fun.

This is a fun cd with several games all aimed at teaching a child math skills. There are sorting games where a child has to sort out items into two sets of like items. There are games that encourage number, color or shape recognition. There are games that encourage measurement (in that something is bigger or smaller than something else) and weighing. As children play games the games get progressively harder. Also, as children play they earn blue dollars that they can later spend.

By little four year old boy still enjoys playing with this game. We bought it when he was three.

This is a fun computer game. It is easy to use and required very little input or direction from me as my son learned how to play the games. It grows with the childs skill level. This computer game makes math fun.

Enjoy.

My 3 year old daughter, who seems to literally have fear of a computer mouse, would actually put her hand on the mouse to play this game. I think Blue was her motivation! There are good thinking games that get progressively challenging. It was fun to play them with her and ask her questions. What surprised me most was that my 8 year old daughter keeps asking me if she can play it!
