When I was a kid my family owned a Windows 98 PC with a couple of games installed on it that didn't need a disc of any sort to run. I believe these games were installed off several floppy-disks and as far as I know they were all actual games that you could go out and find. The one I can't find anywhere however was some odd educational-ish game which was comprised entirely of minigames.
The game was set in a house and it's immediate surroundings. You would do things outside like a gardening minigame where you planted vegetables and watched them grow over the course of several hours, coming back from time to time to water them to make sure they didn't die and when they were fully grown you would be rewarded with a silly/funny animation unique to the crop. I recall that in this minigame you could also plant flowers and if you planted two seeds really close together then you could make special two-tone flowers, this might not be true though. While you were outside you could also paint the house with different colours and textures.
When you went inside you were in a room with some shelves and on these shelves were a selection of minigames such as jigsaws and a breakout clone. The jigsaws were unique because once you had completed the puzzle you could click on portions of the formed picture and silly/funny/unexpected things would happen, much like in most children's edutainment point & click titles of the time. There was another minigame in this room that I remember and it was some weird "doll's house" thing where you would choose an environment depicted from an isometric viewpoint (environments were things like spooky mansions and such) and then you'd be given a wide selection of props and "actors" which, when placed into the world, would interact with one-another in unexpected ways.
Throughout all this you'd be followed by the game's mascot; a short, tanned elf boy who was a little chubby and wore blue shorts with a red t-shirt and baseball cap. You could interact with him by clicking his face to have him talk and by clicking his stomach to tickle him and elicit laughter.
All I remember about the title of the game is that it most likely began with the letter 'A', for some reason the word "Adio" always comes to mind when I'm trying to remember but searching for it yields no results. I do recall, however, that the title of the game was just one word; the name of the elf-boy mascot character.
It's probably also worth mentioning that I've lived in the UK my whole life so it's possible that this game was a European only release, possibly developed and produced in Germany. I don't know why I think that, there's just something about a tanned, chubby elf boy that strikes me as something Germans would come up with
