My 3 year-old son loves this

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2007

I received and installed this and Sesame Street First Steps on the the kid's computer a few days ago and my son doesn't want to stop playing with either of them. They both have lots of fun activities and both are helping him with his mouse skills. I highly recommend.

better then no game?

well you might want to have a set of headphones for this game, it is annoying.
there isn't as much as i would have liked to do but what you can expect from a toddler game? it's rather limited but educational and fun. over all i picked up a couple good new tunes to hum to my baby. hes about 18 months and doesn't quiet understand how to navigate the mouse but i know in a few months he'll get it and pick up on it in the mean time we it does help us bond while i try to teach him how to play. save yourself some money and buy this used it's not worth full price. i have purchased more games so we have more variety to play from when he gets bored from one.

Cookie Monster bad, Sesame Street good

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013

The program always freezes when it gets to the clock with Cookie Monster. I have had this program before and it has done this in the past as well. Besides this, it can provide hours of entertainment to young Sesame Street fans.

Disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2012

I rate one star and it says I hate it. NO, I don't hate this product. I really don't hate much, but I was really disappointed. The graphics are terrible and are oldschool BIG TIME. I don't know I guess I was hoping for more. I had it on my computer once and other than that I thought it was a waste. Although, others have different opinions there may be people out there that absolutely love it.

It's okay, but annoying!

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2011

My daughter (2 yrs old) likes playing this game, but like the other reviewers, I find it cumbersome. You can't move the cursor while the characters are talking & navigating through the different options is highly annoying. My daughter always wants to play just with Elmo or just with Cookie... and it can sometimes take several minutes to navigate to one of the exercises that they're leading. Additionally, it seems that the series of different activites plays in the same order. Several of the answers are always in the same position.

Nice, simple program for preschoolers

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2011

I recently started using this in my classroom of young preschoolers. Thanks to the teacher before me who never even attempted to let the kids use the computer and the tedious process of getting one that's more up to date, we haven't had fully functional computer in our class for as long as I've been there (almost 3 years now). Needless to say, the kids were more than excited to use the computer at all. Time will tell if they still enjoy it as much after repeated playing, but for early computer users it's an engaging and fun way to work on letters, numbers, colors, etc. The premise of each "game" is basically the same--children are presented with a set of choices and asked to choose the one described or are given the name/sound of an object when moused over or clicked. So I would imagine it could get a little boring for children at the higher end of the age range (4 years), especially those who already have some basic computer skills. There's nothing you necessarily have to "complete", though like some programs for older preschoolers. You can move on to a new activity at any time, so that's a positive for short attention spans.

I do have to echo what others have said about not being able to do anything while animations are playing. The cursor basically disappears until it's done. It seems simple, but there should really be an option to click through it if you want. Once or twice it's not a big deal but after several rounds, it's just plain annoying. We do the computer in groups of 3 or 4 while a teacher helps, so it wasn't much of a problem for us, but I can imagine this would be frustrating for a child who's trying to do it themselves (it was frustrating enough for me!). What I do like though is that when children are making selections, they don't have to click right on the object to select it. Getting it in the general area still allows you to click and select something, which is nice for little ones with shaky mouse skills.

Overall, it's a nice starting program to introduce your preschooler to using a mouse and working on basic skills in a fun way. I was actually given this to borrow by the teacher next door to me(although once you install it, you don't need the disk to use it) and while I would probably buy it if this wasn't the case, I don't know if I'd be willing to spend $20 on it.

Unimpressed

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2012

IMO, Sesame Street is pushing it suggesting this product for a 3 or 4 year old. My 3 year old wants to interact more with a game and would rather use one of her equivelant jumpstart or reader rabbit products any day of the week. Lacks challenge and is too passive for my kid. She may have liked it when she was being introduced to computers. I do not like that fact that I cannot exit the game until all the credits have run and the child gets little practise with the cursor/mouse.
