The babies are very realistic in their movements and sounds, and they let their caregivers know what they want via little thought bubbles. For example, as children feed their babies, the infants show their preferences for bananas, peas, apples or carrots through pictures of the foods, great for nonreading preschoolers. These pictures guide children through the bathing process, as well as through the steps of changing a diaper. Smiley faces at the top of the screen let players know how their babies are feeling, if they're tired, hungry, ready to play, and so on.
Weaknesses are few.
Additional preschool activities like the already included maze game and story books, would extend the program's life, but an accompanying real baby doll helps to enhance the package. Young children will meet with lots of success when caring for the babies, making the program perfect for baby-loving preschoolers. The CD is packaged with an adorable, soft-bodied baby doll.
