 Not as good as I"d hoped April 12, 2008
We had this CD for my 9yr old when he was little. Ended up throwing it away because it kept getting stuck in the middle of play. We liked some of the games in it, so I purchased this again for my 2yr old in the newer updated version thinking it would be better. The reviews I read stated that even if your little one cant use a mouse, just the keyboard will make things work. Well, dont know about anyone elses 2yr old, but mine is punch happy on the keyboard and kept locking things up and exiting the game if he hit any other key besides an alphabet letter. So once again, disappointed in this software. Also purchased the Reader Rabbit and am very happy with that one. My little one likes it better too as it has more activities.
 grandma's first March 16, 2008
I bought this game for my 2 and 3 year old granddaughters. They were already playing Reader Rabbit for Baby and Toddler and had mastered most of the games and mouse control, so they became bored with Jump Start Toddlers quickly. It would make a good first game, but it is not recomended for children that have mastered basic computer skills.

I wished that it would allow more hands on than have the animated characters do most of the work, for instance recognizing shapes.
 Awesome Software! November 17, 2007

This is the only computer software my now almost 3 year old daughter has been able to thoroughly enjoy for the past year and a half. I had tried other software that was geared for older children (preschool or kindergarten) and they were way out of her range. So, on a whim, I picked up this title at toys r us while shopping for other items. My version is actually "Jumpstart Advanced Preschool" for ages 1 1/2 to 4 years. It consists of 4 CDs, one of which is "Jumpstart Toddler". This CD is affectionately known in our house as "Tickle Duckie" since that's what my daughter has grown to call "Dedee" the duck who is the star of most of the games. I credit this software to teaching my daughter her shapes, colors, and alphabet all at an early age... she had loads of fun playing all these games. She is now, at almost 3 years, just starting to grow out of these games. I just installed the "Jumpstart Preschool Fundamentals" CD on my pc and will see how she does with that now, but I'm sure "Tickle Duckie" will still be a favorite of hers.
The best toddler computer game! November 7, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is by far the best computer game that I have found for toddlers. It practices colors, shapes, letters, numbers, mouse control, and new words. The writers of this game really understood how a toddler uses the computer. The game makes every button on the keyboard a good button to push. Something always will happen! This games was written before the "start" keyboard button, so that will still bring up the start menu in Windows. All other buttons have their functions changed to fit the game. Even the ESC key is good!
It is also good that games can use either mouse or keyboard (except one game about mouse control). The buttons will cause all of the fun things to happen as well as clicking on the picture.
Highly recommended! My toddler enjoyed it from about 17 months.
