Description
Ages 4 to 6:
There's plenty for kindergarten kids to learn in The Land Before Time! Littlefoot and friends are busy making sure it's a load of fun, too. Important learning experiences are built into lively and engaging activities with an emphasis on creativity and teamwork. Children collaborate with each other as well as their virtual dino pals to construct stories, animated scenes, musical interludes and printable crafts. When they're ready for 'Recess', kids can share a virtual boardgame or some dino pinball fun.

Two Special "Recess" Activities

* Prehistoric Pinball A feast of fun and audiovisual surprises as the ball bumps through obstacles, chases creatures from their caves and ends up dissolving in a lava flow. Kids can share a game or play in sequence, cheered on by all the young dinos.

* Going Home Two or more friends can play this virtual boardgame together. Players try to reach the safety of the Great Valley, escaping the danger zones and earning extra turns by answering trivia questions about The Land Before Time.
