PLAYHOUSE DISNEY GAME
Entertainment is expensive. An education shouldn’t be. Luckily, the Disney Channel website offers tons of fun, free learning tools for you and your child.
Playhouse Disney is an inventive block of programming developed specifically for your little preschooler. The shows are interactive so that your child can practice his motor skills. For example, Mickey might ask your child to clap his hands. Children practice counting, recognizing shapes, and other fundamental problem-solving activities. The shows tackle other important life skills such as healthy eating and cooperation. Of course, Disney always instills in children the idea that the imagination is limitless. Parents report that the cheerful music and vibrant colors arouse their children’s creativity, and even capture the attention of their infants!
The learning environment constructed by Playhouse Disney is not just for television. You can access many free online games at www.playhousedisney.com.
One of the most popular television programs for preschoolers is Little Einsteins. The Playhouse Disney website lets your child continue the learning experience online through Little Einstein-themed games and activities. Though it is always advisable that parents monitor their children’s online activities, your child should be able to quickly learn how to navigate the pages. Each menu option is illustrated so as to convey the meaning of the word or phrase. For example, the Little Einsteins “games” icon looks like a handheld video game. Also, as you child runs the cursor over the icon, one of the show’s characters will read the word “games” aloud. Before your child has even begun to play, he or she is practicing reading comprehension.
The Playhouse Disney games are excellent learning tools. They provide an opportunity for parents to practice skills with their children in a familiar, animated environment. One unique game is the Little Einsteins “Orchestra Ocean Treasure Hunt.” Your child is in an airplane flying over Orchestra Ocean, where a variety of instruments are floating. Your child must match a sound with the instrument that is making it. The game teaches your child to solve a basic problem while teaching him the names of many different instruments. He does not need to worry about ‘failure’ if he selects the wrong one; the game simply tells him what instrument he chose, and removes it from the screen. This is a wonderful feature, because learning should not be a discouraging experience.
