Advantages: Gets the little ones used to the computer

Disadvantages: some of the games are very hard for the age group the game is aimed at

If you have read some of my past reviews you will know that my son loves Peppa Pig , he has all of the toys and the dvds. He has recently started taking a big interest in my computer and we spend an hour most days on the Cbeebies website which he loves.

I have been looking around for some PC games for that are suitable for the under 5`s and I have to say I have been very disappointed , but while in PC World a few weeks ago I spotted some Bob the Builder , Postman Pat and Peppa Pig games. PC World had a deal on, 3 games for £10 which I thought was very good!

~Peppa Pig Activity Pack~

Once you have installed the game you will see a menu which has the various activities listed.

**Pairs**
You have a choice of single player , play against a friend, or against the computer.
There are 12 cards the idea of course is to find matching pairs , my son loves playing this game it keeps him occupied for quite a while.

**Wordsearch**

Lots of options on the menu screen there are 5 easy, tricky or hard games to try. Pick which one you want and then a screen will appear with the word search. You will have a box with lots of letters and on the right are the words that you are looking for.

**Jigsaw**

You have a choice of pictures to choose from you can also decide on how many pieces the jigsaw should be ranging from 4 - 25 pieces. Once you have chosen your picture click on play , to move the pieces into place you will need to click and hold down the left mouse button while dragging the piece into place. When you have finished the jigsaw you can click on New it will take you back to the first menu so that you can pick a different picture.


**Spot the difference**

In this game you have to spot the difference between the 2 pictures , so you click on say Peppa`s dress and a little duck will appear. After you have used up your 5 ducks if you are correct it will say Well Done on the screen

**Colouring Book**

Lots of pictures that you can print on your printer

**Sliding Tiles**

In this game you move the tiles around until you get the picture right. Peppa Pig will say Well Done when you have completed it.

**Meet the Cast**

There is a picture with all the Peppa Pig characters , just move the arrow over the character like for example Peppa then it will tell you all about her.

**Snap**

This is my sons favourite game you can either play against another person or the computer , you type in the players names , if you are playing against the computer you get to select a level. With this game you do not use the mouse you have to use the keyboard , you press the Q key to deal and the A key when you have a match.


**What do I think?**

I think there are some good games on this cd like the jigsaw ,snap and pairs. These games keep my son entertained but he is also learning how to use the mouse and keyboard while having fun.
Some of the games such as Wordsearch and spot the difference are too hard for him but with wordsearch he likes to point out all the different letters to me so we just make up our own game!

The one thing I like is that once the game is installed it does not need the cd so I can just hide the cd from me son!
You can buy this game for £3.99 in Morrisons , Pc World or Amazon

Age 3+

**System Requirements**

Windows XP
Though it works fine for me on Vista

Summary: Your child might start to hog your computer!
