Advantages: educational, simple to play, enagaging storyline Disadvantages: makes kids want more lol
If you have young children, you most likely know who Dora the Explorer is and all about her talking backpack. This game is on a DVD format, so your child will need a DVD drive on the computer they play it on. This means, if like us, you tarted up a Freecycled PC so your child can leave YOUR PC alone, you will need to fork out a few quid for a DVD player for it.
This game is a natural extension of the TV series it is spun off from. The TV series has a computer game feel, with the "mouse cursor" that appears on the screen after Dora asks your child a question, so this game is like suddenly actually being IN the show for your child. Like the series, your child will go on a walk (in this to the library) with Dora and her backpack, and along the way, meets up with Boots, Benny the bull, Tico the squirrel, and others. They solve puzzles ...
Advantages: Cute design, good quality, stores a lot Disadvantages: Older children might not like it
My 3 year old daughter loves Maisy Mouse. She's a small white mouse that looks like she has been drawn by an infant, but still he has all the features of a mouse and all the charm as well. Although very basic in design Maisy Mouse appeals to children's imaginations. Maisy always looks happy, smiling and appeals to children of all ages.
There are many books about Maisy Mouse, there is also a television series so the chances are that your child already knows who she is. If your child is a lover of Maisy then this backpack would be perfect.
The product that I am reviewing is the Maisy Mouse Backpack that is a large canvas backpack with two compartments and a red handle. It is neither too big nor too small to fit your child's prized posessions. If your child is a fan of Maisy Mouse then you really should invest in this backpack before ...
Advantages: Lots to see and do, the city contains some stunning buildings Disadvantages: The roadworks, the tramworks, the bagpipes!
I have been living in Edinburgh now for almost five years, and in that time I have gone from loving the place to desperately wanting to leave. I am, however, marooned here for the foreseeable future, due to a combination of factors, the most obvious one being sheer bad luck.
We moved to Edinburgh from London for several reasons, the main one being my husband was working in the city at the time. Our daughter was due to leave her special school and the mainstream options available to her in London weren?t great. Actually, that?s being generous ? they were hopeless.
For several years Edinburgh had been portrayed as the best place to live for quality of life, and my husband, having worked in the city in the past, was ready for a change ? so we made the decision to move 400 miles north.
So what?s right with Edinburgh?
The thing ...
