Winnie the Pooh Pre-School - PlayStation

A fun, educational game for children with classic characters

I bought this game for my 5 yr old and he really enjoys playing it!! He has no problems moving around the game & can play it by Himself (other video games I have to sit & help him with the controller, not this one) and being able to pick different levels makes it very challenging for him.My 2 year old of course doesn't play video games he can't figure out the controller (yet) but he Loves to sit in my lap and point at the stuff he wants Me to click on, (he really likes matching the sounds in tigger's places something any 2 yr old can do) we have a lot of kid video games and this is the ONLY one my 2 year old will actual sit & watch and can interact with, this is a really a great game for kids 2 years & up, my boys like it so much I'm looking into buying the other Pooh games.The only bad part I wish they'd change is piglet's place where you have to paint a picture, you have to paint it Just like piglet, you can't pick your own colors which would be more creative But still my 5 yr old has fun in piglet's place. And don't let that stop you from buying it because there is still alot to do on the game like counting at rabbit's, matching picture at owls, putting a story together at poohs lots of fun and using your noodle in this game.

My son started playing this when he was about 3. He played it with me - sitting in my lap with me moving the mouse etc.- before that, but he was three when he tried it on his own. He's loved it from the start. The different POOH characters teach various skills, i.e. math, sound recognition, sequencing, alphabet. Once your child has completed the required tasks it lets them do their own thing. In the paint game for example, your child LEARNS to follow directions and pay attention to details by coloring the colors correctly. Honestly, my son loved putting the wrong colors in just for fun ( some were pretty outrageous ), but eventually would do them right in order to advance. After doing the assigned paintings he was free to color ( and decorate the finished paintings ) as he pleased! You'll want to assist them at first, but it didn't take long before my son was happy to play all by himself. I'd check on him and found that he'd advanced a LOT further than I had expected. He was counting to 20 and working the mouse like a little pro. He even learned all kinds of vegetables, while helping Rabbitt put his garden veggies in mason jars ( in various quantities to teach counting ). The sounds and graphics are fun, and the characters of course, are ones most little kids know and love. It's good for giggles as well as learning. Also, it has three different skill levels for each activity area, so it should keep your child interested and challenged for a reasonably long time. It won't be forgotten in a week or two...

Preschoolers and short attention spans are synonimous. There is no direction and too much talking. How the heck is a three year old supposed to know that he needs to complete all three levels of every activity when the activities keep going and going and going. The game was just not planned with young children in mind.

Fun when I was a kid and fun for my kids now.
