Learn and laugh with Pooh and Mickey! Disney Learning Preschool, featuring Mickey Mouse and Winnie-the-Pooh, is an early learning tool that enables children ages 2-4 to learn age-appropriate skills with their favorite Disney characters. A special bonus CD-ROM is also included. The Stanley: Wild for Sharks CD-ROM game allows children to relive one of their favorite Playhouse Disney television shows by allowing them to immerse themselves in Stanley’s underwater animal-filled world! Throughout this underwater adventure, kids will face kid-sized issues, learn life lessons (environmental awareness, social and emotional issues, and many more), and pick up lots of interesting shark facts along the way!

Different children have varying abilities at different ages. In addition, a particular child's development can change radically in a short time. Disney's Learning Series dynamically and intuitively adjusts to the abilities of the child playing the game so that it is fun and not frustrating for the child at the lower age range, and still as fun, yet challenging, for the older child. The program makes adjustments automatically, without the child being aware that they are playing at a specific level. The goal is to have children playing at the level that presents challenges best suited for their abilities.

Disney's Winnie the Pooh Preschool

Pooh is holding a special birthday celebration for Eeyore!  Journey through the 100 Acre Wood and round up Tigger, Piglet and friends to join the party.  Along the way, gain key learning skills including letter and number recognition, phonics, sequencing and more.  And to make the occasion even more splendiferious, Christopher Robin has a special friendship celebration planned!

Activities:

• Making Alphabet Soup - Children help Kanga and Roo make alphabet soup and, in the process, learn to identify both upper and lower case letters. They also practice identifying beginning sounds.
• Rabbit's Canning Encounter - Rabbit needs the player's help to identify the correct label number to adhere to each of his canned vegetable and fruit jars. Rabbit also needs help counting and sorting items into sets for canning. The counting can start too hard too soon.
• Tigger's Popcorn Calliope - Tigger has invented a Magical Musical Machine, but still needs to put in the special parts that help create the sound. Kids help Tigger sort by sound to find the missing parts of the machine. When the machine is fixed, Tigger will be able to play a song at Eeyore's birthday (or unbirthday) party.
• Owl's Family Tree - Pooh finds Owl in the middle of sorting his family's photos. Players help Owl finish the sorting by identifying attributes that belong to a specific family of owls. Even on the easiest level, this activity may be a little challenging for preschool-sorters.
• Pooh's Dream - If kids go to Pooh's house, he will decide he needs to take a nap. While sleeping, kids help order the stories in his dreams. These dreams are represented in clouds. Each story is incomplete, and children need to select the cloud with the correct image to complete the story.
• Piglet's Pictures - Pooh and the player find Piglet in the midst of creating some art masterpieces. Piglet asks the player to use his little pictures to fill in his big pictures for Eeyore. Children must match the color and placement of that color on a canvas. At the harder levels, children will have to figure out how to mix a new color from two other colors. Again, here is an activity that is not appropriate for most preschoolers; so don't push the upper levels of this activity.

• 20 adjustable age appropriate skills.
• Including learning themes about reasoning, thinking, helping others
• Adjustable levels entrance individual skill levels
• Progress report provides feedback on skill progression.
