Blue and Joe are going to school! Come along, you're invited to attend Miss Marigold's classroom and learn along with Blue and all her friends.

Blue loves going to school, and is inviting her preschool friends to come with her. Once kids arrive at the school, it's time to pick a personal cubby hole, complete with name and picture. Miss Marigold is having circle time, and explains the different activities available in her classroom.

These activities are: Water Table Time, a logical activity that requires plotting a directional course for a boat to reach an island; Nature Discovery Garden, a science game that takes place in the garden and where kids can take snapshots of plants and animals for a nature book; Class Pet Playtime, a virtual pet activity featuring a rabbit; Music Time, a musical activity that emphasized listening skills; and Art Time, a paint activity.

Of the five activities, Water Table Time, Music Time and Nature Discovery Garden are the best in terms of engaging fun and educational focus. In Water Table Time, kids will place directional arrows to direct the boat across a grid-like screen to a desert island. This requires logical thinking, and with three levels, there is challenge for those who want it. Music Time is one of the best preschool musical activities I've seen in a long time. Blue and four of her classmates are gathered in a circle, each with his or her own instrument. Blue plays a certain rhythm on her instrument, then players choose the character playing the matching rhythm. This continues until all five characters are playing along with Blue, then the player gets to use an instrument and join in on a classroom song. There are also three difficulty levels to this activity. Discovery Garden is a nice nature game which features realistic appearing animals and plants, which is refreshing in a children's game. Miss Marigold asks for certain animals or plants, giving out clues - on the harder levels the animals may be hiding.

The paint activity is pretty basic, but offers a fun feature that lets kids send their creations to other users and game characters, plus receive them, with Joe as the delivery person. This is a nice touch. The Class Pet Playtime is fun the first few times around, but tends to get old as there's really not much to do with that rabbit. A few more items to interact with it would be better.
