Fast food and Tech Savvy Mama usually don’t mix. But Little Miss Techie and Captain Computer happen to love their chicken nuggets, fruit, and milk from Chick-Fil-A and an outing there is a total treat.
Well we’re planning to go back soon because for a limited time, all kids meals come with educational software from The Learning Company. The 5 CD-ROMs that you can get with your meal include esteemed programs like Reader Rabbit Thinking Adventures, KidPix4, Zoombinis Island Odyssey, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego 2, and Star Flyers. The software is for Macs and PCs and retails on Amazon for $9-18!
I used KidPix, Zoombinis, and Reader Rabbit in my first grade classroom and my students loved them. Carmen Sandiego is a classic….I remember honing my sleuthing skills while practicing geography while searching for the elusive Ms. Carmen Sandiego in the summers when my mom’s classroom Apple II lived at our house. Shout out to the 5″ floppy disk!
So far Little Miss Techie loves Zoombinis and Star Flyers which is why I see more nuggets in our near future!
Thanks for reading Tech Savvy Mama through your feed!

Woo–hoo!! I love a reason to hit our favorite fast food place. . . for a while they had Franklin books, then they had Magic Treehouse stories on CD, now this?! How about a hug for that kid-friendly company??! Thanks for sharing!!
Magic Treehouse stories?!? I wish I knew about that. We’re really into MTH at our house! We’ve also gotten PBS Between the Lions products in their kids meals! They always have the best stuff for kids in their kids’ meals!
