Dr. Seuss Toddler


Dr. Seuss Toddler is another type of educational software which uses a combination of drill and problem solving activities within a game setting. The software as the name implies, is intended for children between two and four years of age. It has seven colourful activities which are hosted by “The Cat in the Hat”. These activities focus on numbers, letters, shapes, colours, matching, sounds, body parts and music.
This software can be purchased for about ten U.S dollars at Amazon’s website. A few years ago, I purchased this software and used it with my children. I found it to be very useful in that it caters for multiple intelligences from a very young age. The content is also very appropriate for the age group and also very interactive. The software also helps the child to obtain mouse control skills and promotes the early use of computers which is very important in this new age of technology.
The bright, vibrant graphics in this program are very attractive to children. They can learn their ABCs by singing along with “Fox in Socks”, find the right body part to tickle the “Zizzer Zazzer Zuzz”, play a shape matching game with the “Little Cats in Hats”, make music with the “Seussville Band”, listen to Mr Brown and play "What Makes That Sound." Moreover, the software can be configured so that no mouse clicks are necessary. Children can just move the mouse and something happens onscreen. As children play the activities, they are rewarded with stamps for hats that they can colour and print out. A second CD features a printable workbook with pages to colour. After purchasing this software, I had no regrets.
