User Submitted Reader Rabbit Playtime for Baby and Toddler Reviews (cont...)Date: 2002-01-29 tons of fun I purchased several software packages, including this one, for my thirteen month old daughter. This is the only one that she is crazy about. She doesn't like the baby programs, but loves the toddler programs. Over the last two months, she has learned how to use the mouse (particularly with the painting program), she will say "bubbles" to go to the bubble castle, she imitates the animal sounds and she can even (sort of) manipulate between the programs. I highly recommend this software. Date: 2002-01-28 Good purchase We bought this for our 2 1/2 yr. old son to help introduce him to using the mouse and educational software. He had some familiarity having played a couple of computer games, but this definitely helped. He was glued to it for the first few days, but his interest waned as he began mastering some of the programs. He will still ask to "play" it a couple of times a week and he continues to learn. He especially enjoyed matching the shapes (Sky Shapes?) and caught onto it very quickly. The only drawback of that particular "game" is that the same things are repeated many times over, but that seemed to bother me more than him. Initially he had difficulty with the letter matching train, but now does it without any problem; therefore, I know he's learning from it. He also enjoys matching the baby animal with it's mom/dad and freeing the animal from the bubbles. I personally think the one "game" where you find the animal with the flashlight is limited. I find that he doesn't select that very often. He enjoys the coloring, but not as much as other selections. We feel that this software has done what we were hoping - helped our toddler become familiar with using the mouse, become familiar with educational software, and improve his letter/number identification and counting skills. And he has fun doing all of it. Date: 2001-12-09 Great first software program I worked in a children's library and I saw so many children learn how to use a mouse from using this program. Two year olds grasped the concept of "when I move the mouse, I can make this happen" so quickly with the fun, fun, fun interactive games for toddlers. I now have a 2 year old of my own who has been able to play some of the games here for close to a year now. I have to agree with the amazon.com reviewer on everything but the fact that I think Rainbow Rock is the best part of the program. It is the best way for kids to learn, not their colors, but how to work the mouse as they move the "crayon" over the picture, coloring it in. When the picture is finished, a (mostly) catchy tune is played. My daughter loves this and so did every 2, 3, 4, and even 5 year old in the library who would use it. I highly recommned purchasing this software program for anyone with toddlers. Date: 2001-11-08 Great for learning how to use the mouse My son loves this software and has for about a year. He is only 2 1/2 and can use the mouse to navigate everywhere in this software. It doesn't require the child to "click" on anything, just hover the mouse to select items. Date: 2001-10-10 WONDEFUL I bought Playtime for baby & toddler at a local store, while waiting for another reader rabbit cd to come in the mail and my daughter is actually 4 but absolutely loves this cd. Even though it is a toddler cd don't let that fool you my 9 year old plays it, don't tell him I said so though, LOL. I have 3 kids and we know have bought the reader rabbit thinking adventures, preschool and cluefinders 4th grade. My daughter loved the part where baby animals are in a basket hiding and they make a sound and you have to reunite them with their momma. She also loves peek a boo bubbles where she pops bubbles to free animals and then it counts them back to her after she has freed them all. It is very simple to use and they dont even have to click a mouse button, they can even just hit keyboard buttons, it is very simple and all my kids were delighted with these products and my husband is a computer tech and we have reviewed many children cds and Highly recommend reader rabbit software.
