Land Before Time Toddler Time, The
© 1999 TDK Mediactive
Any program that bills itself as toddler fare better be darn simple and easy to succeed at. Unfortunately, this program is neither, at least for two- and three-year-old kids. Four-year-old children may enjoy the five multilevel games that help promote logic, memory and letter and number recognition. Kids at this age typically have the strong mouse skills necessary to run this program, too. For younger children, there are far better toddler programs available. That warning aside, the program offers colorful graphics and a nice challenge range, although testers wished for more activities. There’s a spelling game where kids help the Land Before Time characters cross a river by matching letters to spell words. There’s also a dot to dot activity, a maze game, a memory game and a fish feeding activity that helps children split the keyboard into left and right hand areas. Would we buy the program? Only for a four-year-old true-blue Land Before Time fan.
