Video Game Hopes to Reduce Childhood Obesity

Playskool's new ION Educational Gaming System, for children ages 3 to 7, only works when kids dance, wave, and move around. While they get physically active, they also learn about colors, numbers, and letter.
"Kids dance with the characters from "Blues Clues," play soccer goalie with "Dora the Explorer," and cook with "SpongeBob SquarePants"."
