Blue Goes To School!

Blue shows kids what school is all about! Preschoolers can now join Blue, Joe and the rest of Miss Marigold's class to see how exciting school can be. There are lots of fun things to do - take care of the classroom's pet rabbit, take pictures and learn about animals, plants and rocks in the garden, play music and more. Kids can even create original paintings and, with Joe's help, share them with classmates and see them appear in different activities of the game. While having a great time with Blue, kids can discover: School is cool!

Reviews:

Computing With Kids by Jinny Gudmundsen

"Preschoolers are welcomed to “Circle Time” by Ms. Marigold, Blue’s teacher. After being introduced to the five stations available to explore, kids set out to investigate."

"While all five activities are fun, the Garden station stands out. After hearing verbal clues from Miss Marigold, preschoolers hunt for certain animals, plants, and rocks by scrolling through the lush garden with their cursor.

"This software is a good introduction to activities children discover in preschool. As in her television show, Blue and her friends create a cozy world of learning and fun. While there are only five activities, they come in three levels of difficulty so children can grow with the activities. A special “Parents Area” has some wonderful ideas of how to extend the computer activities beyond the computer."
