Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Browse online. Compare prices from store to store before purchasing Zoombinis. Also, find out whether the product comes as a download or if the retailer mails the CD to you. Downloads are quicker but limiting. The CD allows you to take Zoombinis to other computers.
Step2
Purchase your copy of Zoombinis offline at electronics stores such as Best Buy. Proceed to the software section, and look for the games subsection. Zoombinis may be educational, but placing it in the games section insures the kids see it and ask Mom to buy it.
Step3
Buy Zoombinis at Wal-Mart or other major retailers. These stores have software sections in the home entertainment departments of their stores.
Step4
Look for Zoombinis at garage sales. It's used, but the price is much less than purchasing the CD new. Ask if you can test drive the software to make sure it functions correctly.
Step5
Check out local flea markets for Zoombinis. Many times the software is new but just sold at discounted prices. Find a bargain here. Again, ask if you can load and try it out before you purchase it if possible.
Step6
Take your copy of Zoombinis home and enjoy it with your kids.
