Disadvantages: The devastation, they keep dying on me.....

Plasma III is “formulated so that 50% more young sea monkeys will grow and thrive”. To be honest though while my monkeys were very active yesterday they seem to be a bit lethargic today and staying towards the bottom of the tank.

Advantages: Learning essential skills while playing
Disadvantages: Expensive

.... "Making tracks" Direct the engines - Using the mouse The train enters the screen where the track splits into different directions. The narrater then says to follow the track with a certain shape at the end. The child will need to click on the correct shape and the train can move on. "Harolds Barrels" Clear the barrels out of the ocean - Using the keyboard Barrels have fallen in the sea and Harold needs to air lift them out. The narrator says which letter to pick up and using the arrow keys on the keyboard the child moves Harold left and right to hover over the correct barrel and presses down to select.
