Jumpstart Review and Giveaway
Recently I was given the opportunity to review Jumpstart.com, it's learning software for children. As not only a mother of three young children, but with a child who struggle to learn I was very excited about this. The first day consisted really of mommy figuring everything out. Of course I had to "learn how it worked" right?? This was super simple to learn to use and has so many great features. I love that Jumpstart offers a parents zone where I can not only download more games for my children to play but I can track their progress in those games. THIS had to be my favorite part. I could see how the children were doing. It was easy to tell how much fun they were having that is for sure. You can visit their blog at http://blog.jumpstart.com it is a great place where parents can keep up to date on the new things coming to Jumpstart. It was here I learned that you can get Apps for your mobile devices. This was great so I rushed to my kindle to see what they were and found 3 free downloadable apps and several others ranging from 99 cents to $2.99.
While using Jumpstart my youngest child and middle child both really enjoyed the downloadable game Jumpstart 3D age 4-6. Which I guess was appropriate since she is 4 and he is 7(but has trouble learning). She LOVED planting flowers and taking her character around to meet all the other characters.lol You know typical girl things. My son really enjoyed putting together the calendar. I thought this was GREAT! A very important skill that he struggles with. He had to read just a little bit on and if he was struggling he could scroll over the box and it would tell him what it said so he never got down on himself for not knowing what to do. My oldest son really liked the fruit slicing game that was brought up when we launched Jumpstart. While it really wasn't educational more of a quick thinking game it gave him some down time after school. As a child of the 80s it really amazes me how far technology has come and how amazing children are at it! To sit and watch them soar through some things faster then I could was just great. In a technology driven world this skill will be very important to them in the future. I can't wait to see the long tern results from using Jumpstart but I am feeling very positive about the path there.
