For Ages 3 to 6 this interactive Computer CD Teaches the Importance of Working Together in eight inter-connecting playgrounds. While busy at real world activities ranging from harvesting wheat to making toys, children learn the importance of community effort and gain valuable early learning skills.  My son just loved this and I enjoyed watching him think for himself and make decisions...

In the Assembly Plant, kids can build eight types of machines. Words appear on the screen and are explained, enabling a child to see it, hear it, and build vocabulary skills.  Keeping Busytown clean is a big job, I used to work for a Waste Management company so my child was able to relate this to the industry I worked in daily. Kids collect garbage, then recycle the collected trash and build new toys at the Toy Factory.

Hit the road - but first it has to be built! Yup, that's what our ancestor did, they did that for us.  Your child can experiment with the steps and watch what happens to the traffic if one is missed.  ant there is lots more;  Huckle Cat needs help filling orders, finding objects, and mixing paint. This activity builds pattern and color recognition skills.  Helping Able Baker with his job teaches a child how to follow instructions. Also develops sequencing, recognition, and counting skills.
