4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to computers, September 22, 2002

Rhonda (Chicago, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sesame Street Baby (CD-ROM)

Sesame Street baby is a great way to introduce little ones to basic concepts like colors, shapes and numbers, and encourages them to participate in each activity. This software really helped my 2 year old learn how to use the mouse and keyboard of our computer. The are two different activity "zones". Keyboard activities require the child to press the keys in order to interact with whatever activity is onscreen. The only problem is that it most of the activities do require some mouse usage at the same time, which can be problematic for toddlers. Not many 2 year olds can use the keyboard and mouse at the same time! Parent's will have to assist their children quite a bit initially, but my daughter eventually got the hang of it, and now I only intervene to help her change pages and go to a different zone. The mouse activites are kind of weak. There are only four activities in this area, and they aren't very good. The activity which encourages your child to color using the mouse is the most engaging activity in this area. Overall, the songs are very catchy and I found my 2 year singing along and dancing like the characters and I definitely like the fact that she would much rather play on the computer with this software than watch TV! It is a good introductory tool to computers and basic concepts, but if your child is quick like mine, your child will outgrow this one in about 2-3 months.

1.0 out of 5 stars Reader Rabbit is MUCH better!, February 21, 2003

This review is from: Sesame Street Baby (CD-ROM)

I can assure you that this game is not worth the money. My child is 2 and is pretty good at the mouse and keyboard and he loves Sesame Street. But he hates this software. It is very difficult to get to the different games and it is very confusing for the child. Get Reader Rabbit toddler....there is no need to use the clicker on the mouse instead the keyboard or the movement of the mouse is the interaction.

2.0 out of 5 stars You'll get sick of this one awfully fast!, February 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sesame Street Baby (CD-ROM)

This was our 14 month old's first computer game. At first we were so excited to watch her learn to use the keyboard, and thought the games were cute. One month later we are SO sick of this game, and our daughter gets bored with the games very quickly. The software has bugs that cause loud static during some of the games. There is not much variety, or creativity to the game design or writing. Unfortunately this seems to be the case with most of the sesame workshop products (other than videos) that we have tried. Spend your money on something else.
