Reader Rabbit Toddler v2 - TODDLER, PRESCHOOL & KINDERGARTEN Toddlers learn the alphabet, shapes, sounds and numbers!
Product Information
Help young children develop healthy habits during their first experiences with
the computer.
Reader Rabbit Toddler is an engaging and developmentally appropriate computer
program for those eager, young children.
Toddlers explore nine activities that help them build their confidence as they
play with numbers, letters, shapes, and sounds. They also imitate Reader Rabbit
as he sings and acts out classic songs and nursery rhymes.
Product Features
Alphabet Express
Youngsters match letters of the alphabet. When a match is made, the door on a
boxcar unlocks and reveals an object that begins with that letter. Mat names
each object as it appears helping toddlers build their vocabulary. Matching
letters increases familiarity with the alphabet and helps toddlers begin to
associate letters with words.
Baby Basket Bingo
Help baby animals find their parents. Each baby sounds like its parent and
children need to listen carefully to hear which baby is hiding in the basket.
Matching sounds build auditory memory and listening skills.
Bubble Castle
The Bubble Dragon has surrounded the Bubble Castle with bubbles and the animals
need help to get inside. The animals are caught in the bubbles and
toddlers pop the bubbles until all the animals are freed, they count to five.
Chasing the bubbles improves mouse control and encourages children to predict a
bubble's path.
Follow-Me Theater
Step right up to the Follow-Me Theater! Reader Rabbit acts out finger plays to
classic nursery rhymes and songs and toddlers are encouraged to follow along.
Repetitive language in nursery rhymes and songs lets children practice their
language skills. By imitating the finger plays toddlers develop large and small
muscle skills.
Musical Meadow
When youngsters visit the Musical Meadow they don't pick the flowers or feed
the birds, they play them. Each group of flowers or birds represents a different
instrument and toddlers can conduct their own symphonies. Playing with music
helps children develop a sense of rhythm and patterns which are important early
math concepts.
Peekaboo Zoo
Children use the flashlight cursor to see what animals are hiding in the
Peekaboo Zoo. Mat names each animal as it appears developing youngsters'
vocabulary. Learning the sounds that animals make is also an important early
auditory discrimination task.
Pop & Play Place
In this activity youngsters match the animals popping out of the boxes. When
three of the same animal appear they sing a special song. Figuring out how to
match three in a row strengthens toddlers' logical reasoning skills.
Rainbow Rock
Youngsters color scenic pictures as silly sound effects accompany every swipe of
the mouse or tap on the keyboard. Toddlers quickly learn the connection between
the mouse and the computer to keep the sound effects going. Learning that moving
the mouse causes the computer to react is a major cognitive leap for young
children.
Sky Shapers
Toddlers make an animated picture by matching shapes to the correct outline. The
puzzle pieces slide into place when they get close to the right spot making it
easy for youngsters to succeed. Matching shapes helps build children's visual
discrimination skills.
