Kids are immediately motivated to play again so they can collect more radishes. Here, children trade their radish earnings with Peter for their choice of flower and vegetable seeds to plant in the garden. Radishes can also be redeemed for butterflies and ladybugs. As a child learns, their garden grows. Twenty different plants can be added.
Kids can print out and color their garden.
Mindscape does an excellent job of engaging children in math-based activities that occur in environments consistent with those of characters in Beatrix Potter books. The theme is further carried out by use of British narrators for on-screen help. Whimsical music adds to the charm. Children at the higher end of the scale may find the activities a bit slow, but early learners should be captivated by this delightful title. Beautiful music, soft nostalgic watercolors and a sweeping aerial view of the English countryside set the stage for a charming reading, exploration and gaming adventure with Peter Rabbit, his cousin, Benjamin and all his siblings.
