Rosetta Stone Version 3: German Level 1 with Audio Companion

Could not get the disks to work because they were full of glue from the packaging. The glue probably melted onto the disk in our 100 degree weather.

Instant Immersion Spanish Platinum

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Education and Reference
from: Topics Entertainment

November 29, 2007
I'm just now getting around to using this program and I'm finding that its organization is a little unusual. However, I think with time the familiarity with the program will better facilitate navigation. One other bad note that the program has is that within the "grammar" component of the program, example Spanish sentences are not translated for you. This makes it difficult for me to learn some of the material. I do see some merits with the program and you can't beat the price compared with Fluenz and Rossetta Stone.

Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Education and Reference
from: Humongous Entertainment


The story line didn't seem as involved as "Race" or "Zoo" (which has a good song) but my children spent quite a bit of time on this one. Putt-Putt is very interactive, requires some logic problem solving, and operates on older PCs so the kids aren't on your machine all the time.

I Spy Fantasy [Old Version]

It looks good and runs fine under XP. However, there are no helps or hints. You have to find every object to move on. We can't find one of the hidden things, and without even a guess of where it is, the game is now worthless.

Reader Rabbit Playtime for Baby and Toddler

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Education and Reference
from: The Learning Company

June 25, 2001
I bought this software for my 18 month old daughter... It took her a little while to figure out the mouse, but she was never bored while she learned. She is now just over 2 and has mastered all the games on both the Baby and Toddler segments.. She still loves Mattie and Reader Rabbit. I also bought 2 of the baby and toddler Sesame Street tiles... They are not as easy to learn since they require the child to use either the mouse OR the keybord, no game uses both, and these games bore her. I highly recommend this Reader Rabbit title for your child age 1 - 3. I'm off to order the preschool title! I'll let you know what we think!

Reader Rabbit Personalized 2nd Grade Deluxe

Childrens Toy Shop > Software > Education and Reference
from: Learning Company


This took a 30-year-old mom and her 13-year-old son approximately 2 1/2 hours to complete. We are extremely proud of ourselves, despite being a bit chagrined at having kicked out the actual 2nd grader for whom it was bought. She lost 30 points from my character, which just could not be allowed.
It really is very educational and challenging for the grade level. Aside from the many trap door pitfalls, there are also math and language arts hurdles to jump, swing, or run through.
My son and I recommend this game for people of any age to brush up on basic skills, and if my daughter ever gets it out of our clutches and has a chance to play, I'm sure she'll agree.

We had been using an older version of Print Shop. This one is very easy to use and has many more graphics than our previous one.
