Matching games: toddlers, kids

My girls love playing the Kid's Academy apps. I wish we had them all in full size versions because the free version ends so quickly! The three levels that are in the free version go by very fast. However, my two year old can play this very easily and get through the levels quickly which is awesome for her age. The color and size levels are sorting and the silhouette is matching the animals to the correct silhouettes. The graphics, sounds and way to play are very gentle on the eyes and easy to understand. My five year old enjoys playing it. The only problem is that the free version does not have much available and it goes by quickly. I noticed that if the screen flips on the iPad it ends up not working properly and ends up as a small block at the bottom of the iPad in the corner, so my children cannot play it until I exit out and reload the app.

The Tiny Hands app offers children undr the age of 5 learning fun in a big way as the learn about sorting but not just simple sorting but lightly complex too, perception and hand eye coordination. The colors are bright and the music entertaining for kids. I do wish we could get a little further along before we upgrade to the next level. I really like the celebration with balloons as you accomplish each level.

The Tiny Hands 2+ app teaches shapes and colors in a fun imaginative way. The child will learn how to sort and name their colors through a number of different shapes, colors, seasons, animals and so much more. The app is design to keep the child engaged in the activities without losing interest. The music and colors are crisp and designed to be kid friendly. As the child finishes each activity they are given encouragement through clapping hand sounds and a different character/animal that floats up with balloons. There are 12 levels for the child to master which will allow the child to play over and over in any area they need to practice on. This is a nice educational tool to reinforce the child’s learning. I would recommend the Tiny Hands 2+ app.
