Software for 2-4 year old children

• My son, Brandon, age 3, loves SnapDragon for the PC . You don't need a CD-ROM and it is simple enough for pre-schoolers and younger to enjoy it. It has two play experiences:
  .
  • The 6 scenes are point and click - every item in the scene "does" something when you click it. Items such as bubbles in the bathtub scene or lettuce heads in the farm scene turn into other objects when you click on them. The objects do something when you click on them again. Then, you can move them with the mouse and drag and drop them into containers - sorting! .
  • The SnapDragon Coloring Book provides a palette of paints and lots of pictures to color using the palette and the mouse as a paint brush.
  Both the scenes and the coloring book provide the ability to take a snapshot of what the child has done, and print it. This is truly wonderful software!
