Monkey Preschool
Lunchbox
PrestoBingo Shapes
(Ages 4-8) This fun app is to get your child's
creative juices flowing by using shapes and
letters to create their own creature or pet.
There are three different levels, the animals
can either look real or very abstract. Your
child will have lots of fun playing and naming
their personalized Happipet.
(Ages 4-8) Get you child adapt to reading
easy words and matching them up with an
object by helping the cute little monkey fill his
lunch box. The monkey will provide a color
or word and the child must choose the right
object on the screen. Adults may have to
help the kids by reading some words but it
is a great learning tool for preschoolers and
kindergartners who are just learning how to
read.
(Ages 5 and up) This app provides a large
scale of difficulty levels that challenges all
ages. The app has many different pictures
that have hidden shapes and objects to find.
The easier levels can be used as a great
learning technique for your children that
are in the process of learning shapes and
objects.
Doodle Jump
Planes - Byron Barton
The Numberlys
(Ages 3 and up) This is a relaxing app for
all ages but gets very addicting the more
you play. It is called doodle because the
characters look as a though a child doodled
them. While the doodled characters jump
vertically, the player has to tilt the phone from
side to side to land on the platforms so they
don't fall. The game is easy to play but very
difficult to master. The fun, innocent game
will get the whole family playing against each
other.
(Ages 5-8) Your children will love reading the
moving stories on the Planes app. The words
are pretty basic; however, if they get stumped
on a word(s), they can tap on the word(s) and
the app will say the word(s) out loud. This is
a great technique to get your children to start
reading. The moving pictures will definitely
captivate the child's imagination and keep
them entertained for hours.
(Ages 7 and up) This app is more than your
usual app because it contains a movie, a
book, and an alphabet game. The Numberlys
starts out as a story and as it progresses, it
turns into a game of learning and creating
objects and numbers. The whole family will
get into the game and want to know how
the story ends. It will definitely force your
children to think creativity by remaking The
Numberlys world by tapping, flicking, and
bending number into letters. Let your child's
imagination run free!
