Toddler Puzzle Games for Kids

I have three parrots (two Amazons and a Senegal) and they absolutely LOVE this app!!! Each segment challenges them (picking out the picture to color, tracing, coloring, and then the hardest part, the puzzle) but they love them all. And then at the end they get a reward (in addition to the edible rewards they get throughout for continuing to work) by touching the finished picture and having it move and make noise. They are absolutely delighted! This app has made them far more comfortable using their tongues on the screen, which will hopefully enable us to move on to more challenging activities. Meanwhile, they’ll still have this app to come back to for fun! I plan on purchasing all the additional picture packs.

This app is really good for dexterity development and recognition of shape, color, and common people and objects. I’m a teacher and bought this for my 3 1/2-year-old and I’m very pleased with it. I’m going to recommend it to our preschool program. The app requires the child to follow a berry and tap on it to create the animal. Then the child has to use their fingers to color in the animal, object, or person. Then the picture breaks into a puzzle that is easily solvable for a toddler. It requires them to use spatial awareness, shape to shape recognition, and matching strategies to put it together. It’s simple enough for little ones, but engaging enough for a little bit older children. It’s appropriate for ages 2 to 4.

My child absolutely loves this app. I let him play it while I’m trying to do dishes or cook dinner. However, he keeps pressing the “For Parents” icon while navigating the app. He will keep pressing the numbers on the “parental lock” until he gets it right (by chance.) I can’t get anything done for more than 30 seconds to 2 minutes (at most) at a time till he cries in frustration. I bought all the puzzles, some apps turn off advertisements when you purchase something. Maybe offer that so I can get some work done?
