This is a great learning tool for toddlers who are 3-5 years old. It makes learning size relationships, weather, and many other things fun and keeps little minds focused!

My favorites on this disc of many worthwhile games are (1) they give you a "blueprint" of a train or something, and you build it out of its pieces, and (2) a nature scene where you click on different animals and plants and it talks about them. You can do the scene in each of 4 seasons, each with different details.

There is nothing visually stunning about this game. It doesn't load pages fast, and is pretty all-around low-tech. But it holds my 4 year old's attention and I feel that she is learning from it. Based on my experience with this, I probably won't buy more Sammy's House series games, but I don't regret this purchase.

My kids love this program. Even my older kids will play it sometimes. It's fun and it is organized so that the learning is intuitive and enjoyable. The kids don't know they're learning, they think they're just playing.
