Personally, I do not like to spend a ton of money on kid's software. Family Savings Outlet has been a great find for me. I love a lot of the educational software that they offer and for $4.95 each, it is a great deal.

Educational Software Reviews:

The Freddi Fish Series (review):

Both of my children, ages 4 and 6 love these programs and so do I. It helps to develop their higher order thinking skills and their observational skills. When my daughter first started this series it took her a little while to figure out how to proceed. That is part of the beauty of the game. She was able to fuse her logical reasoning skills to deduce what was needed to complete the game. Luckily there are several Freddi Fish programs to choose from.

Reader Rabbit (review):

We are also big fans of the Reader Rabbit programs. I feel that their developmental progression is very appropriate. They are not as engaging for my children as some other programs, but I think that the way that they are structured really helps with their learning.

Cyber Chase: Carnival Chaos (review):

Maybe I was just a little to ambitious with this program. My children really like this TV program, so I thought I would give the CD rom and try. Well, the recommended age for this program is 8 to 11 and I think they are right. Most of the different games were too sophisticated for my kids at ages 4 and 6. I didn't think that the 4 year old would be able to use it, but I thought the 6 year old would have a shot. Most of the games were over her head and therefore frustrated her. I believe I will be sticking with the correct age lever from now on.
