Learning Land

The dave27 clan, as you may or may not know (why should you, you don't care about me and mine, now do you?), have a pair of Cairn Terriers who dominate Mrs D's life completely. Poppy, the five year old bitch (and the term has never been used more appropriately), has an absolute obsession with causing trouble for ANYONE who happens to knock on the door of Chez dave27, but she reserves her worst behaviour for the postman and the newspaper man. Even before she's heard anything coming through the letterbox she's up and stomping around and getting all worked up about some invader trespassing on HER territory. When eventually the letter or the ...  Read the complete review

Biff and friends Sue, Milly and Tim are the principal characters in a magazine backed software series for children by de Agostini called Learning Land. The target age range is stated to be 3-7, but I would suggest that pre-schoolers or reception class children would enjoy them most. There are four different activities on each CD, which are a broadly based on an introduction to Year One of the National Curriculum, plus one creative game or art activity. There is also an interactive jigsaw used as a reward scheme, the child being given a new piece of the puzzle each time a task is completed. There are two levels for each activity, although both are ...  Read the complete review

Learning Land is a big hit in my home. We have been buying it for my youngest boy for a good while now. Its a good way of introducing your child to a computer as it is very easy to follow. Learning land has 4 main characters, who are Sue, Biff, Milly and Tim- they guide you through the different sections of the cd. Each section involves a task, if the task is completed the child gets a jigsaw piece, the child then put s the jigsaw peice in the correct place. It has covered many topics including Safety in the home, in the garden, in the kitchen and also covers numbers and spelling. There are colouring sections and has a really fun way of teaching your child ...  Read the complete review

Learning Land is a children’s magazine that comes with a CD-ROM for your child. Available fortnightly in most newsagents I would recommend this product to anyone with young children. The magazine and CD-ROM work together so as to compliment each other without putting the onus on one or the other. The media is hosted by four animal characters namely a mouse called Tim, a rhino called Biff, a cat called Sue and a rabbit called Milly. The ‘team’ has a different theme for every issue with ‘modules’ and puzzles for your child to complete. On the CD-ROM, when your child completes the various ‘tasks’ he or she is ...  Read the complete review

A magazine that comes out every fourtnigh, normally on a Wednesday. Fun packed with a C.D. Rom for the children who are aged between 3-7. Once loaded which is easy just follow the instructions, your children can have hours of fun whilst learning at the same time. There is plenty to do and plenty of puzzles for the children to solve along the way. There work can be printed out and they get pieces of the jigsaw to build a picture for them. It may sound young but my daughter is 6 and she loves them, she sends us down the newsagents to check it is in. I am sure if I would let her go to town on her own she would be in the shop getting it herself. Not only does it ...  Read the complete review
