A great introduction to directed learning for toddlers, this is full of exciting sounds, shapes, colours, and beloved characters that are sure to delight any young fan of the Hundred Acre Wood. There are eight different areas for learning, all presented in a fun format of games and exploration. With 16 different skills to master, even the most precocious kids will find something to keep them busy.Especially entertaining are the parts of the program that deal with letters and numbers: children pop balloons to raise the characters higher, helping Pooh along the way. Another pleasant addition: the colouring book can be printed on regular paper, and there are Avery stickers and flashcards included.
From sing-alongs to opposites, all the activities are easy for toddlers to decipher, as icons are big enough to handle even for those just learning mouse skills. There are Pooh's house to explore, guessing games to play, and musical instruments to play--more than enough for a rainy afternoon or two. Kids will love it, and what they learn will please you too. --Jill Lightner

This excellent CD-ROM has been produced by Disney in consultation with American educational experts, to enable pre-school children to gain an insight into the learning and understanding of letters, numbers, sequencing, phonics and colour. Based on a Winnie the Pooh story of a journey through the 100-Acre wood, the object of the exercise is to find certain characters so that they can attend a surprise birthday party. There are three levels of difficulty, and these are explained in the black and white users' manual, obviously aimed at older people, as the program is for two to four-year-olds. The information contained in the pamphlet is simple and straightforward and should be read before commencing. Remember, however, that this was produced for the US market, and consequently some spellings differ. Pooh's Print and Learn facility enables players to print stickers, ID cards, bookmarks, flashcards and workbooks connected with the skills learned in the games. Help Kanga cook with the alphabet, join the Party Spot with Pooh and Friends, Dream with Pooh, paint with Piglet, tin vegetables with Rabbit, make music with Tigger, help Owl with his family tree and at the same time monitor your child's progress in a chart that is updated as your child plays the games and indicates the time taken and the difficulty level. Skills covered in the various games include letter recognition, letter order and phonics, deduction, reasoning, sequencing, thinking skills, categorisation attributes--same/different, number recognition 1-20, counting 1-20, auditory discrimination, music appreciation and creativity, colours, colour theory and listening skills. All activities have been well thought out and will provide hours of fun. --Susan Naylor

Little imaginations can develop their creativity with their favourite Winnie-the-Pooh friends in Disney's excellent Winnie the Pooh Print Studio Classic.Introducing all the well-known and well-loved characters from the AA Milne stories, the package is aimed at children aged four years and above (though it is obvious that help will be required at this age). On the whole it's an easy-to-use program, but if you do get stuck, the extremely well-set-out, and explicit, user manual is very easy to use.
Winnie the Pooh Print Studio Classic enables children to create their own stationery. There are 19 different personalised projects to be explored, including calendars, greeting cards and envelopes, invitations, bookmarks, growth charts and postcards, to name but a few. To help with all this, there are more than 100 images of the 100 Acre Woods, favourite characters, a special Winnie-the-Pooh font, and more than 50 background designs and borders.
Great for encouraging creativity and first computer skills, this imaging package is beautifully produced and great fun to use. --Susan Naylor

Join Winnie the Pooh and his friends in this exciting CD-ROM, produced by Disney, which offers lots of opportunities for infant children to learn in a magical way. It has been produced in consultation with American educational experts and it is well thought out, as well as fun and challenging to use. Christopher Robin has gone to school, and Pooh and his friends decide that they would like to go too. Most of the activities have different difficulty levels, and gold stars are offered for successes. Accompanying the CD-ROM is an excellent black and white users' manual, which obviously is aimed at older helpers, and should be read before commencing. It uses simple language and is easy to use. Particularly helpful are the "thoughtful hints" and "musical hints" for two of the games, but it should be remembered that it was produced for the US market, so some spellings differ.Help "Shape Sorting" in Rabbit's kitchen, and develop sorting, categorisation, size/scale recognition, shapes and colour skills. Join the "Treasure Hunt" with Tigger, and learn strategic thinking, problem solving, listening skills and following directions. Create your own "Thoughtful Spot" and develop visual creativity. Create "Number Balloons" in Roo's Carnival Booth, and learn number recognition, counting and simple addition and subtraction. Join Eeyore in his "Musical Mix and Match", and try music composition. Go to "Owl's Workshop" in his library and let your child learn about letter identification in words, word recognition, early reading and spelling.
It is also possible to print out workbook pages, stickers, ID cards, flashcards and much more, which "...provide hours of creative play while helping your child practice all the skills learned in Disney's Winnie the Pooh Infants".--Susan Naylor

Anyone who has grown up without coming in contact with the Winnie the Pooh stories likely suffers a severe whimsy deficit as a result. Whether from the original A.A. Milne novels and stories or through the Walt Disney film adaptations, the misadventures of Pooh, Christopher Robin, Tigger and Piglet provide a completely entertaining diversion from ordinary story telling.The story in Tigger's Honey Hunt starts with Pooh, who is planning a grand party. But he can't even begin to plan the bash without knowing he has sufficient honey for his guests to enjoy. Bouncing along in his own inimitable way, Tigger pledges to help Pooh locate enough honey pots to get the party off the ground.
Crisp backgrounds, colourful worlds, and superb animation make this a fun romp through the Hundred Acre Woods. Gameplay mechanics are straightforward and aimed at the right demographic.
For anyone but kids, though, this game plays too short and doesn't have enough individual play modes (little kids love to play the same game over and over, so a short game doesn't matter much to the under-eight crowd). The title misses Paul Winchell's deft voice-over talent, but none the less, this doesn't spoil the experience.
Tigger's Honey Hunt really knows what it wants to be--a kid's game. As such, it succeeds in providing a darned good--if short--time. --Todd Mowatt

Winnie the Pooh and the other denizens of the 100 Acre Wood are ideal companions for guiding your baby through his or her first software experience. Their gentle silliness and not particularly linear behavior provide a perfect match for the vagaries of baby reasoning. Babies can help Pooh pull everything from bubbles to birds out of his honey pots. Use spoons to bang out rhythms on pans with Baby Roo. Point to body parts with Piglet. Paint with Eeyore, who glumly uses his tail as a brush ("Green. Like the grass. Except when it's brown. Sigh."). Or play a bouncy game of hide and seek with Tigger.With all five of these elements, your baby can initiate action by simply mashing a key (or five) on the keyboard. Music, colors, opposites, and counting are just a few of the many concepts these activities explore. A couple of smart touches are buttons a parent can click to control the play. A Good Job button causes the character to give positive feedback to your baby. The Do It Again button is for that thing near and dear to all babies' hearts: repetition. It exists so parents can make balloons float out of Pooh's honey pot ad infinitum, which is just how babies likes it.
Don't expect to park your baby alone with this CD-ROM. It works best when parents participate, using the mouse to move between activities and control the play. Fortunately, little surprises, flawless animation, and well-developed characters make this an easy one for parents to enjoy. Watching Piglet's fidgety hands and hearing Eeyore sigh as a rain cloud drenches his masterpiece is like being with old friends. Designers used a quilt motif as the central visual element of this program, and it's an appropriate choice. Winnie the Pooh Baby is as comfy as a well-worn baby blanket. (Ages 9 to 24 months) --Anne Erickson
