Ladybugs is a Mac game for very young children. You will have a lot of fun with your little toddler “working” on the computer. There is much opportunity here to teach your child the basics of the keyboard and mouse and have loads of entertainment as well.
There are short instructions where you can practice reading letters and words with your child. The white letters outlined in black make it easier to clearly see and read out loud, however it would have been more age appropriate with block lettering. Very young kids are able to learn so much it’s almost unbelievable. They can learn their letters and words if given a chance, enough instruction and patience on your part.
The game has 3 modes of play and each one should be enjoyable for your child. Color Trouble is a section where you match the color of your ladybug to her house. Following the flower path, you guide the ladybug to the same color house. In the Ladybug Race you are racing the blueladybug to the houses. I think the blue ladybug is a little confused because she sometimes loses her way. This will give 
your child a chance to beat her. In the Tangled Maze you guide your ladybug through a maze to her like color house.
All 3 games will help your child with color recognition, coordination, direction and learning to win or lose. Even if you must control the mouse and keys for your tyke, I think a 2 year old would still appreciate the cute ladybugs and colorful scenery. All of these factors are very important in the development of young children. I think it would have been perfect if the developers added a memory game mode to the puzzles. It is incredible how much a toddler remembers.
The simple graphics, large cursor and the happy music will set the stage for a lighthearted afternoon of fun while at the same time learning new things on a cute, joyful game like Ladybugs. An extra bonus is the priceless bonding with your little one.

-Fun Hands on Play

With 50 challenging levels Diaper Dash will keep you busy caring for infants in a daycare center in Wilson’s sister house. Fortunately you earn upgrades, money and medals for your earnest and hard working efforts.
Wilson an inventor gets fired from his job at the baby research laboratory where they make inventions for babies. With wise advice from, who else, Flo, Wilson gets started on his own research, er, daycare center. In Diaper Dash you have 2 modes of play, Career where you meet your goals, buy upgrades and use your inventions each day. Endless you have an endless stream of babies coming and going continuously, and if you lose too many customers because they are unhappy, then you are out of business.
The play is easy but hectic when more and more babies arrive at the center. You click on the baby at the playpen at the entrance, the picture above the head will show you what the baby needs, and you click on the station. You get in a groove moving the babies around from the highchair to feeding station, to crib and, of course, the dreaded diaper stand. That would be enough for any caretaker, but there’s more, you have to clean where the babies stayed, because, let’s face it, babies are messy. In addition you have to throw out the diapers initially every three dirty ones and when upgraded more. This may not sound so daunting until you have many crying babies needing diaper changes. Once you finish your first invention, the Cleanatron, you will have assistance cleaning your center. Unfortunately, Cleanatron must be re-charged every now and then so it is not always available.
Diaper Dash is part of the Dash series. Although the play is similar to those games, the developers always include some little twist to make your play interesting. I found the inventions helped immensely improve the play and all the upgrades needed to speed up your procedures are always appreciated. Take time to play Diaper Dash and see how fast you can move and keep the babies happy.
Features of Diaper Dash:
-50 Levels
