The premise, in the publisher's words

Inside of a young boy's cupboard, the tiny toy figurine native American named Little Bear has come to life. Letting the tiny man guide you through several activities will allow you to bring more toys to life and show your accomplishments on your wampum belt. Some of the available activities include the bead pictures game, where you practice your artistry with carved Iroquois templates and colored beads. There's also the Music Mimicry game and the Symbols game and several more. Completing all the activities successfully opens up a new area, the Bedroom 3-D environment and makes available six different quests.
