Printable activities provide developmental exercises for your baby to practice while away from the computer.

At last, something my little girl can do on the computer! September 28, 2000

Emily was dying to "work" on the computer, but she kept hitting Windows buttons and crashing the machine. We bought Reader Rabbit and suddenly, hitting buttons actually made things happen (besides Mama yelling "stop!") and the "bad" buttons were disabled. Even the mouse is fun to use, because you can reunite lost baby animals with their parents, color a picture that sings to you, create music of your own, or many, many other great activities. Great software, very well done.
Easy for kids to do and FUN March 3, 2002

Reader Rabbit Toddler is the best software I have bought so far - its easy for my son to use (if kids cannot use the mouse yet most games work just by hitting keys) and has alot of fun activities. From the main menu you move a "Star flower" to one of nine fun activities - including an alphabet train where you match the letter key to the boxcar to see it open; a musical meadow where you move a bee from flower to flower to hear them play; a bubble castle where you pop bubbles to free the animals - it has a variety of fun activities that my son has loved from 18 months to 3+.

This is a very good program for toddlers it is very easy for my 2 yr. old to use. My daughter starts clapping and laughing when I start to put the program in the computer. She has so much fun with it. I would recommend this program to any one who has a child between the ages of 1 yr. and 4 yrs. old.
Preschool Computer Lab Teacher = Thumbs Up! November 10, 2005

I have taught preschool computer lab for two years and have successfully used this software with my 1, 2 & 3 year old students during both school years. I love this software because no mouse clicks are required - only moving the mouse which greatly increases my students hand-eye coordination with the mouse.
I currently have 10 PC's in my lab and run the Toddler software on 6 machines - I love it that much! (Note: I have successfully used this software on both Windows XP and Windows 2000 Professional operating platforms).
Some may notice that this disk offers both Baby and Toddler software. The Toddler software is my personal favorite. My students seem to get bored of the Baby software too quickly (even my 1 year old students migrate away from the Baby game and over to the Toddler game when given a choice). If you opt to buy the Reader Rabbit Toddler (without Baby), it is practically identical to the Toddler software on this CD. Therefore, I'd recommend either software as long as it includes Toddler.
1 & 2 year old students enjoying coloring on screen, while my 3 year old students enjoy the Alphabet train & matching shapes in the clouds. I found that my older 3 year old students and my 4-5 year old students become bored of this game rather quickly so I don't generally offer it to them - they need more of a challenge.
Overall, I'd recommend this software to anyone with young preschoolers (under 3.5 years old) who especially need to work on mouse skills. This game is great for working on mouse skills without the pressure of understanding how to "point and click".
A joy for my 20-month-old daughter March 13, 2001

My daughter Catherine enjoys this software package far more than the other two computer games we have for her (Lego Preschool MyStyle and Disney's Mickey Toddler, both of which are good in their own right). There are lots of activities involving cute animated animals, and Catherine never gets bored -- even Daddy is entertained. Some of our favorites are the Kaleidoscope at the Baby level, and the Bubble Castle and the Musical Meadow at the Toddler level. The sounds, colors, and animation are excellent throughout. Many activities allow use of the keyboard as well as the mouse, a very nice feature for youngsters who can pound on keys with more facility than they can navigate by mouse.
