Arthur's Computer Adventure helps children (ages 3 to 7) to develop reading, math, vocabulary, and other important skills. Through following Arthur through his interactive world, get hooked on his favorite computer game. Arthur's Computer Adventure lets you play to learn important facts and skills. This interactive storybook is more "adventure" than "computer," more fun than learning, so don't figure your youngsters are going to learn about RAM and ROM and other computer stuff. Nope, this is just another story on the computer screen starring the world's most popular animated aardvark, Arthur. As in all better electronic storybooks, this one has endless clickable mini-performances and sound effects throughout the pages of the "play me" version. Text is highlighted as the story reads on. Plus, five activities provide plenty of play for kids-some of them linked into the scenes from the storybook pages. Deep Dark Sea: Learn about world geography and ocean life in this side-scrolling, arcade-style activity while exploring the sea in search of hidden treasure. D.W.'s Store: Children learn counting skills when they make a purchase for D.W.'s toys and work with D.W. in the café as they cook up some wacky recipes. The counting gets more difficult as D.W.'s purchases get more expensive. Treasure Hunt: Focused on developing reading and prereading skills, Treasure Hunt is a fun and challenging activity designed to encourage children to learn new words. Play against the computer or another player. Frankenfish: A creativity activity where kids learn about different sea creatures while creating some interesting creatures of their own. Eyes, fins, props, and decorative stickers can also be endlessly arranged. Print in color or black and white for coloring book pages. Helicopter: Find the toy fire helicopter and then drop water balloons onto a target. Use the remote control to help the firefighters, do aerobatics, or lower a ladder to rescue the firefighters. It also includes 13 surprises and puzzles. | ||
