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
From Children's Software Revue
Children join Pooh and his friends at the 100 Acre Wood Kindergarten. There, they find six three-level activities that teach early reading and maths skills, sorting, colours and shapes. Although the graphics and narration are first rate, the activities are on the dull side and the program suffers from a flaw--there's no solid incentive for children to play the games. Users are told they can earn gold stars (yawn) but they're not told how many problems are needed to earn these rewards. For instance, in the letter activity with Owl, children match pictures to letters. We did at least 15 in a row and still received no indication of how many more were needed to accomplish the goal. Sadly, the program has other flaws as well--non-interruptible animations and no way to print a sticker creation. The bottom line--pass on this Pooh program! - Teaches: reading, spelling, math, addition, subtraction, numbers, shapes
- Age Range: four to six years.

Great follow on ... October 7, 2002
29 out of 29 found this review helpful
I recently purchased Disney Learning : Winnie the Pooh Infants CD-Rom after my 3 year old perfected the Pre-school version. This follow on is brilliant as it is laid out in exactly the same way as the pre-school version. Navigating around the characters houses between each task with minimum fuss, and the user is helped along all the way by Winnie the Pooh and collecting 'gold stars' for each completed level. 'Pooh's Thoughtful Spot' is a wonderful way of helping children learn all about weather and seasons and allows them to save their creative work for a later visit. Owl helps them word recognition with online 'flash cards' and matching the correct word up with the starting letter. It's a great hit in our household and we still have plenty more to learn and complete with the Treasure Hunt and more counting involved. Sadly missed though is the wonderful 'paint' or colouring on this CD-rom, which was a favourite in the pre-school version, but there are plenty alterative activities keep them occupied with the mimimum of supervision required. Brilliant Buy ... I'm buying them now for birthday presents for my nephews and friends children.
