Rating: - Some discs okay - but others are horrible!
My daughter loves the Animal Field Trip game and the Arts and Crafts game. The Fundamentals game isn't as interesting for her - but it is probably a bit over her head (she is only 3). The Pet Playground game is horrible! There are only 2 games available - you have to play them many times just to buy a pet and then many more times to buy anything more for your pet (such as food, grooming supplies, etc). Plus, several areas of the game are locked out unless you have "Jump Start World" which costs up to $90! There is no warning or infomation on the box that implies that any additional purchases are needed to play the full game. I guess the 3 working discs we received were worth the $15 we paid.
Rating: - Mackie's Mom says it's great!
This was a gift for my now 6 year-old when she was 4. She played it for many hours by herself before showing my 4 year-old how to play. Now it is one of his favorites as well. Because of games like this both of my kids are very skilled in following computer instructions, maneuvreing around a game and utilising fine motor skills to control he mouse. I have never had a bad experience with JumpStart software. We have used JumpStart Baby, Advanced Preschool, Advanced Kindergarten and Animal Adventures.
Rating: - Great Game!
When my 5 year old is playing this game all of her siblings gather around to watch. They really like this game. The concepts are well presented and the learning is fun. I really like that even if they miss and pick the wrong answer the game lets them try again. We have had this game almost a year and my children still love it. It does a great job with addition, counting, colors, recognizing patterns, spelling, sounding out simple words, story ordering and it is just fun.
Rating: - Jumpstart Brilliance
My sister was the first in the family to buy all her children all the Jumpstart's. She then recommended it to me for my daughter. This series is brilliant. My daughter is the type of child that will sit on that computer figuring out the game until she wins it. Her thought process as revealed to me is if she completes all the games she will move up to the 2nd Grade level. What more could a parent want? My sister-in-law bought my daughter Learning Rabbit at 2 years of age and she played that one until she was 3. At 3, she bought my daughter the Kindergarten Jumpstart. This month, I bought my daughter the 1st Grade Jumpstart. My daughter is way ahead of the game because she is only 5. These games support her learning in school and keep her uptodate on all her PC skills during the summer break. The program is easy to learn. It does not require a parent to teach the skills.
Rating: - Excellent product
I thought this was an excellent product. My kids loved it. So did some other kids who tried it. It was self explanatory. There was so much to explore and that was what I left them to do.Worth the money. I would have paid much more for this.
