My 27-month-old son learned to use the mouse independently using the utterly fabulous Fisher-Price Little People Discovery Airport PC game. He also is passionate about playing the wonderful Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham PC game. Wishing to encourage his PC usage, I purchased the Disney toddler bundle. Speaking both as a former computer teacher and current mom, it is a truly boring bundle. Most of the games screens don't require clicking - the actions are triggered if the cursor just passes over the object - so no good mouse manipulation skills are learned. All three games do a lot of talking at the toddler, instead of just letting the toddler click and learn. For example, the Mickey Toddler game has 5 screens - it took my son only 8 minutes to go through all 5 screens, play all 5 games, and then ask for his Airport game instead. There are few hidden surprises for him to find on the screens, and he bored of all three CD-ROMs within one day, while he has been playing his other computer games for over a year.

Just because it has the Disney name on it does NOT make it a good product.

The games in these 3 CD-ROM are well designed for toddler. With the lovely pooh, tigger, piglet, mickey, and other disney charaters, the learning ideas are well presented in games - guessing, playing music, counting. The art works are greate too. I love them. My daughter loves them. She even begin to learn how to use mouse with it. Once side effect is it changes the computer's desktop background to all white. I have no problem to exit the game. And if you feel hard to exit the game, please press Alt-F4

My son likes a couple of the pooh games, but the others seem to have gliches. Very difficult to get out of the game. I usually have to just turn the computer off to get out of it. The pooh cd also messes up the graghics even after I get out of the game and have to restart the computer to fix it. The pooh game seems to have good ideas, just too many bugs to be worth it!

I agree that Pooh Toddler and Mickey Toddler are a bit boring, but the Book of Pooh has a great game in it. It is a place where my not quite 2 1/2 year old can make cookies from a recipe! She can get the flour, oil, eggs, vanilla, etc from the shelf, put the correct number of scoops into the bowl and then decorate the final product. Too bad you can't print it though. This one part makes the bundle worth it. She still plays the others, but only a few minutes and she's bored, but then, really, two-year-olds aren't known for their long attention spans!

This is a fantastic set! The favorite disc of the three is "The Book of Pooh," although the Mickey Mouse one is a close second. The activities are really fun, with great graphics and classic pooh-character humor and scripts. It was my daughter's first software at three, and now as a first grader she still loves it. My three-year-old son was able to teach himself the games and how to navigate the menus. He plays with it without needing any help. We loved it so much we give it to friends with toddlers, and when one of our discs was broken, we bought the whole set of three again.

My 3 year old found the software easy to use. Great learning product.

The Pooh for Toddlers is overly slow and extremely dull. It has narration like some Pooh cartoons but due to this it takes too long for anything to happen. If you have an active child or one that is very curious they will get frustrated at the length of time it takes before anything moves or happens.

I bought this game at the same time that I bought the JumpStart Toddler game. My son will be 2 in a few months and I thought that he would enjoy the Disney characters. I think that when he gets a little older and his computer skills get a little better he will enjoy these games much more. The only one that we have tried is the Mickey Mouse one. My son got bored fairliy quickly because he needed much more help than he needs with the Jumpstart game. I think that this game would be better for older toddlers.
