Adiboo tackles nature, the solar system, and history in this activity-crammed
program. This title is one of a software series starring this
enthusiastic animated character. Each 2-CD-ROM set comes with a first CD
entitled Adiboo’s
Playland, where kids explore Adiboo’s playhouse, garden, and
kitchen. There are interdependent happenings going on in this
magical play land, such as a gardening activity that, with proper
care, eventually yields produce that is used in the kitchen for
baking activities.
The second CD, the Land of Science, contains this
program's early science activities. Steering a car around the Land
of Science is a particularly fun way to get to the learning
activities, but kids who prefer more traditional methods can
always use the main map (pictured above). Children can visit the farm where they
explore seasons and animal science, or enter the museum and answer
quizzes about history. The total number of activities is hard
to count -- suffice it to say, there is more than enough for eager
children to do in this program.
Pros:
-
A tremendous amount of activities to explore
-
A wide range of difficulty levels
|
Cons:
- Annoying prompts to
choose a level
- Audio can be grating for
parents
- Icons are sometimes
confusing.
