Gameplay[]

The Backyard contains six games including "Scarecrow Faces", "Pumpkin Patch", "Sandbox Treasure", "Animal Habitat", "Knothole" and "Animal Cookies" as well as other minor activities to teach players about creativity, map reading, numbers and animals. The game introduces Pepper Mouse's sister Ginger. She also appears in the 1995 remake of The Playroom.[3]
