As your child succeeds, Grow Slides automatically increase the level of difficulty.
Wow Oh my god! I use to play this 7, 10 years ago as a tiny kid at school... God we loved this program. I would 100% get it for any kids today, except for any new versions post-Windows 98 are probably overdone and cruddy.
Not a OS X OR XP title All of the Thinking Things titles are - or more the point WERE - good. I was looking replace some of my old software with up-to-date versions for my youngest. I thought that I had purchased an updated version of Thinkin Things 2 which was Mac OS X compliant - but it is not. It is not XP compliant either.
Learning tool My daughter discovered this at school & it is one that she enjoyed. She plays with it occasionally & it tends to challenge her, which is good. I would reccomend this for other 5-7 year olds.
