ABCMouse.com has become a very helpful addition to our 4-yearold’s learning at home. And the best part is; my bug absolutely loves it! If you ask him what his favorite part of ABC Mouse is, he responds with: “All of it!”
I, as a mom, rarely expect to find something to catch his attention that is educational, and not just recreational. ABC Mouse is the perfect blend of both. With a great mix of creative learning techniques, and plenty of fun, it keeps us both looking forward to our “ABC Mouse Time” as a regular part of our routine!
ABC Mouse is a subscription service ($7.95 a month for up to 3 kids) that offers different educational activities for children from 2-6 years old.
The experience starts out with a fun tutorial on how to use the mouse (the one attached to the computer, not the one in Red shorts), then, it’s on to the classroom! In the classroom you can either choose an activity, or start along a learning path. The path takes you through different environments and activities including shapes, numbers and letter recognition.
My little guy loves the learning path because, every time he completes a task, he earns tickets that he can spend on things for his ABC Mouse Virtual Room. He is exited to win each and every time. He really enjoys all of the positive reinforcement while he “plays”. (I put the word in quotes because, learning, is what he’s really doing!)
One of things I love most is the app for the iPad! I am able to bring ABC Mouse with me wherever we go. There is also content available for use while you are offline. Bug loves to play the music videos, especially the letter I!
Most of us, at some point, have seen a commercial for ABC Mouse and wondered; “Is it worth it? Does it really work? Will my child really benefit from it?”
As far as our family is concerned, hands down, the answers are: YES!

I was provided with a month of free service in exchange for an honest review.

I like how it gives them tickets. It kinda paves the way for fiscal responsibility.

That is a really good point!

ABC Mouse is a wonderful program! Sadly my son is getting a bit old for it now, but I have passed on our membership to my good friend with a 4yr old, and will be making sure my nephew has one soon as well.

Oh this looks so wonderful! I also love that it has the IPAD app! Carter loves to play on the ipad..this would be so great and educational for him! That is so neat your son said all of it was his favorite! Thats a good sign! 🙂 I know Carter would love it being 3 years old, and I know it would be so helpful in getting him ready for preschool next fall!
