Review: I basically liked this program. But my child lost interest in it really quick. My three year old liked Mickey's preschool much better. Read my review for that. It is titled the same but rated a five star.

Summary: Not so crazy about this one!
Review: I purchased this game for the PS2 for my son who is 4 and I find it rather boring. The only thing he even likes to do is the coloring and even then there are only like 2 or 3 pictures to choose from. It seems to go slow and take forever to do anything. You have to listen to all the characters talk and you cant just get right to the game. After reading some other reviews though it seems to have worked for many, but neither myself or my son were too impressed with this one!

Summary: Pooh is the man.
Review: I received this from my parents for my son thinking that I would just sell it on-line and then I realized it actually worked with our system and it's been installed since. My son started playing this when he was 3 and he loves going through all of the different houses and doing the multiple tasks and going on to the advanced stages. It keeps track of your childs progress and it also gives you printable pages for a workbook. I just printed out a set to take on our trip so he'll have something to do on the plane ride. My daughter who is 2 also would enjoy it if her big brother would ever give her a chance to sit and play with the computer. I highly recommend this because it's very easy for them to catch on to what they have to do to complete the levels. Boring? It can be, but kids thrive on repetition, so I just leave the room if I get too bored watching it.

Summary: My daughter and son loved this...
Review: I wanted to see if my kids would get into learning by computer and well after using the program one day they were fighting over computer time. My 5 year old ripped right through it and my 2 1/2 year old is learning at a slow and even pace. I was upset that you need a color printer but I guess that is the next thing on our list to buy. I think having Pooh and his friends there to teach takes some pressure off me, a wonderful compliment to the old fashion way of teaching.

Summary: Doesn't allow for creativity
Review: I was generally disappointed with this software, but especially with the Piglet portion, in which the child gets to color in the pictures -- but only if they choose the exact colors that Piglet has indicated. OK, so maybe the sky should be blue, but why can't Pooh's scarf be green instead of red? If your child doesn't select the colors that Piglet has chosen, she cannot advance to the next picture.

Summary: One of the best in the Preschool software category
Review: If there were Emmys handed out for educational software, this one would be a strong contender. This software game really helped my 3-year old son learn his colors, numbers, sound recognition, matching, and letters. The best part is that the game is easy to understand and very fun. He plays this game often. Pooh visits each of his friends' house to notify them of Eeyore's birthday. In the process, the child "helps" the characters provide a gift for Eeyore. Once the chore is accomplished, the gift is waiting for Eeyore. When the child has collected all the gifts, let the birthday party begin! The software has three difficulty levels. The software requires use of a mouse.

Summary: Pretty Good Game
Review: My 2 1/2 year old likes this pretty well. I agree with previous reviewers about the party at the end. It was so bad that I assumed it would improve as you completed the exercises in level 2 and 3, etc. It didn't. In fact, once you get the party, you never get anything else for completing the higher levels. Not even the same party. My 2 1/2 year old mastered the mouse while playing this, and will sometimes play unattended for quite some time on her own. This game has some decent letter recognition, pattern matching, and motor skills activities.

Summary: Pooh could be 4 u!
Review: My 2 and a half year old has quickly learned how to navigate this program. The beginning has a mail box that you have to type the players name into and I need to help her with that. There are 3 levels on each game and a variety of activities. Counting, coloring a page to match a smaller picture and even color mixing to get desired color. The goal is to complete all the areas to get ready for a birthday party for Eeyore. My daughter enjoys this game and although it is a bit slow sometimes ( pooh is a slow talker) She plays with it often. It requires more thinking than many of the other games for this age group that I have bought and challenges her. I would recommend it highly.

Summary: OK, but get Mickey Mouse preschool instead
Review: My 2 year old loves Winnie the Pooh but get bored after 2 months. Some of the games are not very challenging. I have a 20inch monitor at 1600x1200 and the game window doesn't size so it's a small picture in the middle. The Mickey Mouse Kindergarden CD does size correctly. I would reommend the Mickey Mouse CD over this one. There is a print option for printing Pooh stickers, bookmarks and name tags which my daughter loves.
