Games for Toddlers - Playhouse Disney

Online computer games for toddlers - Playhouse Disney

Starting off with the basics: Does your toddler enjoy watching playhouse disney? If so, they will almost certainly enjoy hanging out at playhouse disney online. All of your toddler's favorites are online with free computer games for toddlers, activities, stories and music.  Just visit the website and click your favorite character at the top and off you go.

Since my child loved all of them, I picked Mickey for this review.  Basically all of the characters have the same type games modified for that show.

Main menu:

The activities offered are as follows for each character button at the top:

Mickey's games include:

•

  Minnie's skating symphony - a side scrolling game using the arrow keys to help minnie capture her wayward musical notes. (parent bonus: She does 'the running man' at the end which is funny as heck to see)

  Donald's froggy quest - an easy clickable adventure game where your toddler can help donald-turned-froggy get to the princess. He or she will click on lilly pads, bridge pieces and animals to help Donald on his way.  My 7 year old took over my laptop to play this one while I was trying to get the following screen grab.  Disney sure knows what they are doing when it comes to inviting kids of all ages.

Pros -

• free
• TONS of activities
• familiar characters with consistant voices
• watch disney clips online

Cons -

• seldom updated (if ever) with new material
• A toddler can easily click on something outside the small game window and 'get lost' when the browser takes them somewhere else

My opinion: This computer game for toddlers website is a lot of fun but the danger of clicking off the games may require supervision while you child plays. That a shame since the games are geared perfectly to the toddler age.  Other than that, the site is wonderful and the activities are great.
