Great little activity. Got both grand kids (10 days apart)learning shapes, numbers, groups, letters, and colors. Good intro to Leapster.

Not so educational!

I wish I could return this set. My daughter hasn't learned anything new from it. She's 2!

Must be good!

I haven't tried this one out yet, but I will go out on a limb here and say this is probably a good choice. Why? I purchased the original Jump Start Preschool for my 4 year old son and not only does he love it, it's really educational. It teaches memory, numbers, letters, etc. all in a fun way. I don't see how you could go wrong with this one.

Not great

I bought this because I was getting tired of playing online games over and over again with my toddler. Well, both me and my toddler think most of these games are boring. She likes Reader Rabbit Toddler MUCH better. Maybe an older toddle would like this better but I doubt it. Don't waste your money, find a better game.

Lost Appeal Fast

This is very basic, I would say below what most preschoolers are able to do.

Good investment

My son is 2 1/2 and loves his Jump Start software. He asks to play every day! Good distraction from TV and another avenue for parent child interaction. Right now it is hard for him to manuver the mouse to the various objects in the activities, but with help he's learning to move the mouse and how to play the interactive games. There are several activities on each CD, but he does have his favorites (i.e. balloon animals). Overall a great teaching/learning tool. Each CD allows the parent to increase or decrease the activity challenge level, so it will grow with him for the next few years!

Jumpstart is great as always!

My 3-yr-old daughter loves this game. She had grown past the Jumpstart Toddlers, so was ready to advance, and this was perfect. My older daughter (now 12) had gone through many of Jumpstart Program, and she always loved them, too. The games are very fun for the kids, and yet while they're playing the various games, they are learning and preparing for school, too. I highly recommend Jumpstart products!

Great for a 4 Year Old!

My son is 4 and he gets very bored with some games (ie Dora). This game has so many facets to it that it keeps him VERY occupied, and he really enjoys being able to customize things like stories. I wouldn't suggest it for a younger child, unless they are very proficient on the computer. Yeah for being Mac compatible!!

Good first experience with computers

My 2 1/2 year old son loves this program. He started out having problems with his mouse skills, but soon mastered the interface. After a month, he has just about worn out this program.

My only reservations is that it runs on a 640x480 screen and does not automatically adjust the display when it starts (win98/SE). At the resolution I use on my computer, the screen is to small to see. It would be great if they had the program auto-adjust the screen resolution and mouse sensitivity.

Great even for 1-year olds!

This software (Jumpstart Advanced - Toddlers) is very easy to install and simple to use. My 17-month old can't yet use a mouse, but Jumpstart allows her to punch the keys and make things happen. She LOVES to sit in my lap and follow along as I play through all the games and activities. Her favorite part is the learning CD where she can explore colors, shapes, numbers, and other activities with a cute little duck named Dee-Dee. My daughter loves the animation and lively songs. When she's cranky and all else fails, I will say "Is it time for Dee-Dee?" and my little girl's eyes light up and she toddles into the computer room to wait for me to start her CD. I love this product and will likely order more from Jumpstart as she grows older.
