My main concern about the activities on Disk 1 is that there just doesn't seem to be much variety in the activities or in the difficulty levels. This is fine in that it allows the child to master problems and build confidence. However, it doesn't leave much in the way of growing room. The printable activities are fantastic. Instead of the printable workbook pages I expected, I was surprised to find instructions for craft-type activities that families can do together.
Projects range from origami flowers and nature party invitations to snow globes and rainsticks.
The instructions are clear and easy to follow, but can only be seen by printing them. Only a picture and description are given onscreen. I do think it would have been helpful to have the materials list and instructions available onscreen before printing, so that parents can prepare themselves. My recommendation is to have a notebook handy to place the instructions in as they are printed. While the activities on Disk 1 are sure to be outgrown by the end of the 5th or 6th year, the craft projects will hold their appeal for years to come, making this title a great value.
