I had forgotten until I saw this comment but now I distinctly remember a game where you were supposed to make a cake for a pig by following steps like putting the correct ingredients into the mixer.

There was also a mystery solving themed Canadian show to teach deductive reasoning.
It was among the best shows when I was a kid
I grew up with this. There were even little toys for busytown. I loved those as a kid.
