Blue's 123 Time Activities
|
Summary |
|
Blue's 123 Time Activities features multi-level learning activities that enrich a child's early math experience. Although designated for ages 3-6, it seems most appropriate for preschoolers 3-4 as they develop logical thinking and deductive reasoning skills. |
Educational
|
|
For early math learning, Blue's 123 Time Activities is a wonderful think-along, play-along program that challenges preschoolers while making them laugh. This program stimulates and encourages kids to become flexible thinkers and creative problem solvers as they explore new worlds and begin new adventures, all in the familiar territory of Blue's Clues. |
Fun Factor |
|
If your child is a fan of Blue's Clues, then this CD will satisfy and educate for many sessions. In this program, Steve invites you to help Blue collect Blue Dollars to buy one of the many big prizes at the Backyard Fair. There are over half a dozen areas to play in at the fair, including counting games and activities involving sorting and matching, estimation and prediction, and sequencing and ordering. |
Lasting Value |
|
Blue's 123 Time Activities includes a special Parent & Child Activities section of the user manual which brings playful learning from the family computer to the rest of the home. So even when your child is not using the computer, you can still incorporate fun learning activities from Blue's Clues into your daily lives. |
Quality |
|
This is a high-performance multimedia program. It has a dynamic format and lends itself well to the computer screen. The only negative is that it isn't interruptible and seems a bit slow once the child has learned the program and no longer has a need to listen to instructions. Although most three year olds are able to use the program, they may not sit still through all the verbiage. |
Based on the popular Blue's Clues television show, Blue's 123 Time Activities features many activities that are both fun and educational. Blue and her friends guide preschoolers as they develop logical thinking and deductive reasoning skills, practice simple operations, and explore estimation and prediction. As they successfully complete the activities, kids collect Blue Dollars to help Blue earn big prizes at the Backyard Fair.
