My daughter has had this software program for several months now. She is four years old and doesn't watch Blue's Clues that much, although she knows what it is. That's what's so amazing to me about this software, your kids don't have to sit in front of the TV for hours to know how to play it!
It strays from your typical Blue's Clues adventure of finding the 3 clues. The software runs like a virtual preschool (which she can appreciate now that she's attending one).
My favorite feature (and hers!) is how you can give your drawings and paintings away to other school "members". Then a few minutes later along comes Joe explaining that you've recieved one too!
I've found the "outside" part of the software to be very full of knowledge about animals. Children take part of a scrapbooking adventure and in the process learn many facts about different animals.
All games/tasks can be made more difficult with "leveling" so that the software never gets old.
This game is WAY better than TV!
Great Birthday gift for my 3 year old son

Wonderful computer game. Very educational. My 3 year old son has been able to sit at the computer with little or no assistance to run this program on level one. He has room to grow with it and I am very impressed with the shipping. I recieved it promptly, and in excellent condition just like I was assured.
I LOVE IT

Although we are definitely "Steve" fans, this is a great game. My son is 2 1/2 and really enjoys this game. Some parts are pretty easy, like matching letters in the library, and some concepts are a little harder - like figuring out the differences in small, medium and large. Either way, my son is pretty PC saavy for his age and really enjoys this game. It provides enough of a challenge to keep his interest and help him learn new concepts. Worth they buy.

My 4 year old son really likes this learning activity and can navigate around in it pretty good by himself. He really likes the science section that tells about the different planets.
We love Joe!

My daugther is 3 years old and it only took her one evening and she was playing the game on her own. It is very educational learning to buy items and picking out different shapes of food. Their is also A school where there is a computer where they can print different kinds of pictures on it. My daughter can play it for hours if she was aloud. I am sure your child will love it too. I also have a 5 year old nephew that plays this game that also enjoys very much.

This was my 3 year olds first computer game that she can completely play on her own. She can spend hours playing this game. I particularly like the different levels of difficulty. She loves her Blue's Clues
Great!

I have to disagree with most of the other reviews. My daughter is two and a half and loves this game. We also have Jumpstart Toddler, as well as Winnie the Pooh Toddler and this seems to be the best of all. As far as others saying its boring, I think they are missing the point. Moving things to and from the shelves helps toddlers develop the coordination needed to master the mouse. Although, adults may not find matching, counting and learning pre-reading skills challenging, most toddlers do. There are five different stores to visit, one for each activity. There are three levels of difficulty for each activity, so I really disagree with this one being boring. Once you visit all the stores and complete all the activites you go back to the preschool for a couple of suprises! The background music is nice throughout the game. If you happen to have a problem with Joe, (vs. Steve) I'll let you know that he doesn't have that big of a role in this one. Blue is the main character, so if you like her, get this one.
Lots of learning fun

My son started playing this game when he turned three. He loved it then, and still loves playing it at age four. I should say, however, that I believe the optimum age for this game to be between 2-4 years. Handily, there are different level settings, so children who are more advanced or less advanced in activities can still enjoy the fun. For example, my son does well in mathematics and reading, so the library and the play store are high level activities. On the other hand, hearing sounds and repeating them (the triangle goes 'ting', so you must then hit the triangle) is harder for him, so we use the easiest setting for the music store.
He has spent up to two hours playing in just the present store, picking out presents for friends within the money limit allowed. He loves choosing the wrapping paper and matching bows, as well.
As the game features many different activities (reading, mathematics, sound repetition, vocabulary, shape-sorting), it is a win for parents interested in educating their children in a fun way. I'm planning on purchasing it for my nephew, as well, and if I had more relatives with children, they'd be getting it for Christmas, too.
The main down side would be Joe, as compared to the beloved Steve, but he plays a very minor role, and is only seen when the child is switching between activity centers (library, grocery store, music store, bakery, present store). The other would be the lack of actual reading in the library. As my son can read, it would be more fun on the highest level if he could sort the books according to title, instead of just with the beginning letter. However, he still has a lot of fun with it, and the mathematics in the present store are great.

My 4 1/2 year old son needed a fun learning challenge. Blue's Clues Kindergarten provided just that. With the three different levels of fun we were able to customize the game to suit his learning needs. Our son played the game for hours not even knowing he was learning.
