Disney's The Lion King II: Simba's Pride Active Play uses characters and locales from the movie to provide children ages 3-7 a familiar environment in which to play activities that mix entertainment and education. Activities include standard sing-a-longs, memorization, sequencing, action games, mazes, music making and picture creation -- none are unique or innovative other than the subject matter.
Characters feature movie favorites Simba, Pumbaa, Timon, and Rafiki, as well as a menagerie of other jungle-associated animals including elephants, monkeys, hippos, giraffes, and birds. More than 125 animal features are provided in the animal creation activity, with 72 colors and patterns offering a wide range of possibilities. Seven original songs were created especially for the title and can be played separately on any CD player.
The program recommends Avery stock postcards, stickers and full-size cards for printing animal and picture creations, as well as coloring pages, mazes, certificates, masks, fact cards, puppets and board games. ~ Michael L. House, All Game Guide
