Fimbles Fimbling Fun!

Description

If your child is getting that Fimbling Feeling, try Fimbles Fimbling Fun , one of an excellent range of CD-ROMs and console games produced by the BBC. It includes lots of songs, stories and video clips from the popular TV programme. Let your child join the Fimbles and their friends for fun and enjoyment in a world of make believe. There are lots of learning situations, all designed with fun in mind. Objects must be found: a suitcase, a pebble, a feather, a shimmy shaker, and blue footprint, all of which lead to various activities, including a music game, a maze game, a collage, a suitcase game, stories, tickling games, songs and discovery sequence videos. All these wonderfully exciting activities will lead children to meet Florrie, Pebble, Ribble, Rockit, Roly Mo, and Baby Pom, and if any help is needed, Bessie is always on hand to tell children what everything on the screen does. Also included are activities designed specifically for adults to play and do with children, so that the learning and fun can be developed after the CD-ROM has been switched off. These include printing out and colouring in, finding games, and more. All of the games can be played at different levels of skill and difficulty to cater for a range of abilities. The BBC has developed this CD-ROM in line with the national curriculum at the foundation stage, and recommends that it is suitable for children aged 2 years and above. Skills which can be practiced and developed include mouse control, listening, following directions, observation, cause and effect, and creativity. Accompanying the package is a first-rate, colour instruction booklet which is extremely well set out and it should be read by parents or helpers before play is commenced. -- Susan Naylor 2003 Gold award in the Software category. -- Right Start Best Toy Awards 2003 Winner of the Training & Home Learning category. -- British Interactive Media Association Discover a world of fun with the Fimbles and their friends! 5 games to play from objects the Fimbles have found include finding the right items Florrie needs, making a collage, and discovering tunes and songs the Fimbles can play.

Review: Sloooooowwww - This doesn't hold a child's attention for long because it is too slow. The Characters talk too much which leaves the child with nothing to do for long periods.
