Great for chilren through age 5 or older [Posted on 2004-01-04]
I agree with everything each other review wrote but I had to add that my daughter has had this program for over two years and she still loves it. She started it at 3 and is now 5 and has not ever been bored with the activities. She was able to play it by herself at 3 and now can really go through it quite quickly. There are so many activities and they change so much she doesn't seem to do the exact same thing every time. I would hightly recommend this game for any child age 2 to at least 5 or 6.

Bad programming to frustrate Adults and Children alike [Posted on 2004-07-23]
I bought this disk as part of a package that has Rainy Day Activities as well. [The Rainy Day disk is fantastic by-the-way!] This disk however refuses to work properly. When you back out of an activity it backs you out of the program entirely. ( I guess I should be gratified that it doesn't crash my PC.) It does this both in the Mac and PC environments.

Why others have not had this problem, I don't know. ALL I want to really say is that it looks like it might be fun, but that there appears to be some sort of 'pointer' problem that keeps it from being able to maintain playing continuity. FINALLY, there is NO software support from this company to fall back on. They no longer support it, if they ever did. Good luck.

I also had the same problem as the previous conumer. When we click to go back it returns to the start - maybe an operating system problem? We are running Windows XP.

doesn't work [Posted on 2004-10-20]
I am also having problems with it returning to start. We are running Windows XP. Any one have any suggestions on how to fix it. it seems like a really good game if it worked.

five star material, 2star performance [Posted on 2007-02-07]
as with the little bear toddler discoveries; this game that i just purchased also does not work properly. i am assuming since there are several other reviewers that had the same problem that it is not my newer computer. i had a computer tech come to check it out and he said that it was the software; although not defective; just unable to perform on most computers. very disappointed to find that out as the little bear games are not only developmentally appropriate for teh ages they are geared toward but they also offer children an opportunity to play in a non-aggressive manner; which many computer games do not offer. no point in sending it back as a replacement (if i coudl even get one) would still perform the same so we play until the game freezes or locks up on us or wont let us move on to the next spot. we just go into it knowing it could only be a five minute activity or a 20 minute one.
