My ABCD software for toddlers |
|
|
|
|
This software is a collection of games for toddlers. Along the way, kids will learn to move the mouse (re: the train and soldier assembly games) and eventually learn to click (re: the beehive game). There is a lot of letter learning along the way - albeit with an Aussie accent.
For some of the games, there is a slider to determine how close the mouse has to be to pick-up an object (this makes learning to mouse easier when fine motor control isn't so fine.) There are animations to reward kids for their success. Listening to my daughter play with this software I heard a lot of, "I did it!" Take a look at: paxtoncat.com.au |

Disney's Toontown Online, the first massively multiplayer online game designed specifically for kids and families, is an award-winning, kid-safe, endlessly evolving, and immersive 3-D online world. Join up with out-of-town family members and play together online. There are basic driving games, and other games that are fun for both parents and families. Fighting the Cogs is particularly funny because many of the gag/weapons are from the dull aspects of adult life (e.g, Hot Air, Red Tape, etc.) The first 30 days are free. Visit toontown.com |
