I have a confession: My kids play a LOT of video games. As in, they play a number that I won't write on this site for fear of losing your respect. (Yikes. That must be a LOT, eh?) But no matter how much screen time they get, I WILL swear that I try to place the educational ones in front of them more often than not. Whether or not they respond to them or not isn't my point. My POINT (since you asked) is that I TRY.
One of the sites that I have raved about before is the Jumpstart site for younger children. Corinne LOVES it. I LOVE it. Can't say enough good stuff. Here, read my previous review... Check out their online site...
See? Good stuff.
I was absolutely tickled to have JumpStart contact me again, asking me to review their new game for the Nintendo Wii system, JumpStart, Pet Rescue. My family doesn't personally own a Wii, but my sister does! So Corinne and I headed on over to try out the new Wii game with my niece who is 4 years old. Here's Corinne's review of the game.....
Hmmm. She may have gotten a bit off-track there. Sorry! But she's just so dang cute, I couldn't resist! I love 3 year olds...
It has all of the good stuff that the online game had. Rated for Early Childhood by the ESRB, it focuses on the skills that are important to pre-schoolers and young learners, all within the context of an adorably sweet adventure-world.
For any of you lucky Wii owners who would like a chance to win a Pet Rescue game for yourself, head on over and enter! It's scary simple.

We have a Wii - but everyone that uses it is over 18. And yes - your 3 year old is adorable - with or without a Wii controller in her hand.
We thought about buying a Wii, but then I saw the maniac my husband turns into when he "bowls", plays "tennis", or "golf", or "boxes". I feared for lives and limbs. So we don't have one. I think we're the better for it. When he's feeling like throwing his shoulder out because he loses. control. trying to get a "strike" (the man can bowl about a 14 in real life by the way) he plays at the house of someone who isn't married. So I'm a shrew. What of it?
I enjoyed the review, though. Cute! ;)
