Build pre-literacy and encourage science exploration when young children explore with Ani the dinosaur!

Users ages 3-6 help Ani, a friendly alien, learn all about school in this Reggio Emilia inspired, award-winning program that encourages love or learning and experimentation. Players help Ani learn all about school by collecting natural objects in a pond, garden and forest. Children then use these objects in 7 different learning centers, including literacy, science, drama, art and computer learning. Two "pretend" Inernet centers stimulate creative exploration, a "help for Grown-Ups" button provides guidance, while the Teacher's Guide enriches curriculum. Responds to NAEYC curriculum standards.
