Pato and Mila grow up (Full KIT: CD-ROM + book)

The CD-ROM recounts the adventures of Pato and Mila, two friendly kittens, brother and sister, who like all little ones want to grow up. But to grow up you need to learn to do so many things on your own… Wonderful, but what an effort too!
And then there is always someone older than you ready to make fun if you do something wrong and to throw a spanner in the works… Someone like the puppy Timba.
The software, which is designed for playing and having fun whilst stimulating abilities connected to the concept of autonomy, offers 9 fun activities structured around levels of increasing difficulty, through which children can assimilate and consolidate their knowledge and learn by imitation from a competent model, overcoming various challenges in order to receive the “I can do it by myself” diploma at the end.
Activities and games which stimulate and consolidate autonomous abilities essential for growth and development.

THE BOOK
The book introduces and describes the VIDEO-PLAY-CARE formula, where the criteria inspiring the project is briefly presented: the word video reminds us of technology, playing and the importance of the recreational dimension in development, playing at taking care of and holding the educational sphere close to one’s heart. The first section is dedicated to the ever-closer relationship between play and learning in the digital age, whilst the second part presents the educational use of multimedia games. The third part, in addition to a software user’s guide, contains a series of practical suggestions for setting up activities, organising games and creating teaching and recreational materials at home too, in order to integrate the multimedia experience with concrete proposals that pursue the same learning goals but that also engage other important dimensions of a child’s development like the body, emotions and relationships… because one game leads to another…
