When you install Toyshop , you're given a choice between American and British curriculums, and the notes will vary according to your choice. For example, clicking on the toy oil tanker produces a rather detailed animated lecture on how crude oil is drawn from the earth, turned into petroleum products, and used as fossil fuel. It's well done, but considerably over the heads of the younger members of the age group. On the other hand, it does add to the program's longevity by appealing to a rather broad age range. Weather-related activities consist of dressing persons or stuffed animals appropriately for the depicted weather.
Proper dress is rewarded with a short animated story related to that person or animal.
Toyshop contains several different games about animals. They may involve placing the animals in their proper exhibits at the zoo, feeding them the right food on the farm, finding the proper place for their nests, or leading a lost baby to its mother. Again, correctly completing the activity rewards the child with an animated story. It seems that every kids' program these days has to have a paint shop feature. Not only is Toyshop no exception to this rule, it actually has several different painting games in it.
