Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

The graphics and music are beautiful, but the content and game play is shallow in these five activities that feature Winnie The Pooh and his friends. In Popping Balloons, children match colors, shapes, letters and numerals as they help get a floating Pooh back to the ground. As each balloon is popped, a narrator labels a shape or number. Besides the labels, that's all there is to this activity, leaving children and adults alike wondering "what's the point?" Another activity has children clicking on items in Pooh's house in an effort to discover short skits to illustrate concepts like wet and dry, light and dark and so on. Once you've discovered everything, which we did in about ten minutes, the game is over. Besides the limited content, several of the songs and introductions cannot be interrupted, forcing children to wait through explanations of what they're supposed to do. For toddlers we'd stick with Reader Rabbit's Toddler or JumpStart Toddler instead.
Teaches: matching, colors, shapes, opposites

5.0 out of 5 stars Toddler Heaven, December 16, 2006

This review is from: Disney's Winnie the Pooh Toddler (CD-ROM)

My 3 year old is pretty bright and even though she could sing the ABC song I could not get her to visually recognize the letters. This CD ROM has a "popping ballons" game that is magnificent for learning to recognize the letters. This disk has multiple games that I know facilitated my daughters ability to become an expert with shapes, numbers and letters. I absolutely recommend it for all parents with toddlers in the home.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice game, but low tech will drive you crazy, August 25, 2009

This game is nice, kids like it.

However, it uses 4.5 GIG of hard drive (no kidding) and when you shut it down, it doesn't reset your graphics back to the original settings. This forces you to reboot unless you want to look at windows drop-downs in "black and white" mode. Also, I could do without watching the 2 minutes of credits with no ability to click through at the end.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed., April 30, 2008

This review is from: Disney's Winnie the Pooh Toddler (CD-ROM)

The learning games are satisfactory but the product itself is very low tech. It forces your screen resolution down to 480x640 and only 256 colors. If the game hangs up (often) your monitor is left at low res. They did not disable the Windows key on the keyboard and anyone with a child knows this key is hit often. It hangs up the game.
You are forced to run the program from the CD, no Hard Disk only install. If you have more than one Disney Interactive CD, you are left constantly changing CDs because we know how our kids love to change games in the middle.
There are 2 minutes of credits at the end of the game that you cannot bypass when exiting the game.
C'mon Disney. Your product is stuck in the early 90s. Get with the progam (pun intended).
