great first cd rom for your boy or girl, November 16, 2003
This review is from: Fisher Price: Little People Discovery Games 3 Disk Compilation (CD-ROM)
I really can't say enough good things about this computer program. The one problem is that you have to find things to do while they are doing this game all by themselves. Imagine that you can actually get stuff done. My son has watched me on the computer since day one. I finally decided to get him his own game. I figured I would be stuck sitting with him at the computer. this is not the case. He just turned three and he asked," can I tr?". Well that was it. He can move the mouse and to do games on the cd he know to ask me to change to another cd. the activities can grow with him in difficulty. He actually played the airport game for an hour. He changed between the different activites himself. They are very kid friendly. Also the giggles that come from the computer room are worth it alone. He really seems to enjoy it and he is learning while he is laughing. I stongly suggest this cd rom. I plan to purchase it for all my nieces and nephews for the holidays. Enjoy!!

Great Toddler Computer Game, January 7, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Fisher Price: Little People Discovery Games 3 Disk Compilation (CD-ROM)
I can't say enough good things about this 3 little people disk set. My 3 year old twin boys loved Reader Rabbit Toddler but could not handle many other computer games because they were not able to control the mouse well. The little people Ready for School Toddler CD was so un-intimidating and encouraging. The kids could just push keys on the computer for the animal parade game and other activities would continue even if they were not able to point and click. They felt comfortable and found it so interesting that both twins actually taught themselves how to point, click, and drag with the mouse well using this CD because they weren't frustrated. They love playing all three CDs in the pack. They love feeding the animals, making music, and playing the memory game on the farm CD. Right now their favorite CD is the airport CD. They love building the plane with Michael and printing out a copy of the plane they made. This 3 CD pack is such a great value and has given my children hours of fun. It is educational and has taught them to feel more confident on the computer. If you love Reader Rabbit and are having trouble finding other starter type games for your kids, try this one.

This is wonderful!, March 21, 2004
This review is from: Fisher Price: Little People Discovery Games 3 Disk Compilation (CD-ROM)
This set is fabulous. My 26 month old son has only used the farm and the airport cd so far, but he LOVES them! They both have several games, and he goes from game to game, playing them all. On the airport game you can "build" and decorate your own plane (with "paint" and "stickers" of fish, frogs, turtles, flowers, hearts, stars, etc.), and then it flies around in the background while you continue to play. There are games that revolve around the flight tower, luggage sorting, putting pets on the plane and feeding them, and the weather. There are other little things that make it fun. You can click on a frog and he jumps (and my son erupts in giggles), the windsock becomes a sock or a fish when you click on it, etc. There is an "old mcdonald" song on the farm one, a game that shows how things are planted, grow when watered, and then harvested, you can feed the animals, help the babies get matched up with their mommies, and help the scarecrow say "boo" and scare away the rabbits (more giggles, everytime he says boo). There is a little insect jug band playing in the background on one of the games. It's all very appropriate for toddlers, and there is nothing my son loves more than airplanes, helicopters, and animals. All of which are included! So far, we have been playing with and helping him, but I'm sure there are parts he could do on his own. I highly recommend buying this, and then exploring it with your child to find all the neat little things they've added in addition to just the games (which are great, too). It really makes it fun. By the way, we have a new HP laptop, with Windows XP, and haven't had any problems getting those two c.d.'s to work appropriately.
