ABC Zoo
"ABC Zoo" is an alphabet and animal learning game on the Fisher-Price website. This game begins with an ABC sing-along; then it gives your toddler the option to choose any letter from the keyboard. Once pressed, the program says the letter and then reveals an animal from the ABC Zoo whose name begins with the selected letter. The animal appears, moves about and makes the sound your child will learn to associate with it. Your child will have the chance to watch 26 animals ranging from alligator to zebra over and over again. Odds are he will have a favorite very quickly.
Hide and Seek Toybox
The "Hide-and-Seek Toybox" game is a guessing game presented by the PBS Kids website. The game features the PBS television character, Clifford the Big Red Dog. In the game, Clifford is just a puppy and is hiding behind various toys strewn about the room. The object for the player is to guess where Clifford is hiding by using the mouse to point and click on a toy to see if he's there. If the player is correct, Clifford puts his toy away in the box. The game helps your toddler learn motor skills and will get her comfortable using a computer mouse. In addition, it will help your toddler associate sounds with objects, as there are audio clues when it is time to choose where Clifford is hiding.
Cup and Ball Game
The "Cup and Ball Game" is a toddler game designed to help children pay attention. The game appears on the Tree House TV website and features Babar the Elephant, who is trying to use his "magic" trick to fool the player. The game starts by clicking on a small pink ball. The ball is placed under the middle cup in a row of three cups. Then the game begins. The toddler watches as the cups flip back and forth and round and round. Once the cups stop, the player must click which cup the ball is under, to win. If she watches close enough, she'll be able to guess right regularly.
