I teach Kindergarten. My students love the I Spy Books so you can imagine their great delight when I found the software. My 'K' students love the I Spy Junior to start out with. After they master Jr. they go on to the older version. It is more difficult, but some of them really enjoy the challenge. I recommend these products to any and all.

My son is a few months shy of three, and his loves I Spy Junior. There are enough different games to play to keep him interested for an extended length of time (up to 30 minutes), and he wants to play it again the next day. He has not tired of it yet and we have had it for 2 months (a long time at this age). It has improved his concentration, eye-hand coordination, color and number recognition and how to follow directions. It keeps an adult's interest, too.

The activities in this software are exciting and fun for a child as young as 2 1/2 years old. Children choose from 6 types of activities that hold their interest. The objects move when they are selected and the animation is life-like and fun to watch. This is an excellent choice if you are looking for your child's first software program.
Perfectly suited for preschoolers

My son just turned three and this program is perfectly suited to his skills. The six differect games within the program provide a good variety of activities. There's even one game where you can create you own I Spy page to print out. The oral directions are very clear and simple for little ones who cannot yet read.
I believe this game is time well spent on the computer. The program presents challenging thinking games and not just mindless flash. We also like the music that introduces and ends the program.

This was great for my 3 1/2 yr old. He can explore all by himself. He loves that it's similar to big brother's I Spy games. Things make silly noises when he clicks them to add interest and entertain.
Great educational game for a pre schooler

Our 4 year old son really likes I Spy books and this CD is a great transition to more challenging activities. He mastered the seek and find section immediately, but still finds the concept of grouping like things a challenge (these are Venn Diagrams I remember being introduced to in 3rd or 4th grade). There is also a section on patterns, which is an area he has studied at preschool earlier this year, but he still finds some of the patterns a challenge, without getting discouraged. I definitely recommend this CD, especially if your preschooler has enjoyed I Spy Books in the past.
Great computer introduction game

This is a great first game to introduce the computer and teach kids how to use a mouse. We started with this game when my son was 3 and he caught on pretty quickly. There are several levels of various difficulty but the easiest ones are easy to do. Now that he is 4 he still enjoys playing this but is moving on to more pre-k learning games (I highly recommend Dr. Seuss Kindergarten too for age 4!!!)
Overall though, this is a great way for really young kids to learn how to use a computer!!!
Gotta love I SPY!

We love all of the I Spy software and books. This one was not a disappointment. All of the I Spy games are simple for the very young child... So long as they can click the mouse, they can play the game. Clues are read to you so that reading is not necessary. This particular I Spy game is NOT as good as the others in the series, however it is a must have for any I Spy fan!
Perfect for Preschoolers!

My 3 year old loves this software package! It has 6 different activities that really help with important learning skills for his age group. I Spy has helped with learning to recognize and put together patterns, following directions, and independent thinking...and it's fun! The software uses familiar looking objects, such as colorful toys and beads. Other software packages have left us feeling that there should be more, but we really enjoy I Spy!

This game would not run on Windows XP out of the box. Scholastic support did not have a solution but I found it would run in compatibility mode.
My son loves the games and puzzles. This was a truly great learning game for kids.
