graphics and a sometimes goofy story line Children go on
mini-adventures, such as a Jungle River Adventure, in which
children return lost baby animals to their mothers, after dressing
up the dolls in jungle attire, of course. This activity takes the
form of a maze through a river. Clicking on the sandbox will
transport kids into Tommy's imaginary world where he is pretending
to be a knight. Other activities have kids coaxing a shy unicorn
out of hiding, decorating a cake for a tea party, and steering the
dolls in a toboggan. Each
activity involves some form of dress-up--not surprising
considering the game is based on Barbie dolls. A scrapbook is a
form of log for all the adventures children have taken part
in--children can decorate its pages after collecting pictures from
each imaginary world.
The program is designed for
children ages 4 and up. In fact, 3-5 is probably the most
appropriate age group for the content. Kelly Club is fluffy,
somewhat limited, but fun.
Pros:
- The adventure story
