Parts Of Animals - Vertebrates

Fun colorful app with great illustrations. Easy to use. Good variety of animals.

This app is very engaing for the preschoolers that I work with. They come back to this app again and again. The children love doing these animal puzzles and are learning the names of the parts of the animals as well. This app has several options for building the puzzle; tapping vs. dragging and auditory vs. written clues for which part to move into place next. There is also an option to build the puzzle freely in any order the user desires. I highly recommend this app for preschoolers and kindergartners. These puzzles complement the vertebrate puzzles found in the Montessori classroom. This app would work great for non-Montessori environments, too. The recent upgrades to this app are amazing. This app interface is now more intuitive and much more child friendly. The choices as to which type of puzzle are to do are now very clear. Thanks for taking the time to make your app stellar! This upgrade corrected any and all slight problems I had with this app.

As a certified Montessori toddler, early childhood, and lower elementary teacher I have to say I absolutely LOVE these apps. The subtle music and sounds, and the calmness of the voices fits right into the Montessori style of teaching. Not only do I use all of the apps for my own son at home, but I also recommend them to parents who ask for "homework", or who want to supplement their children's Montessori education further. I understand that some people find the apps too boring for their children, or feel as if their children aren't "stimulated" enough. Montessori education stimulates children by giving them accurate facts to work with, not by overloading their senses with bright colors and animated pictures, or loud music and sounds. These apps are a great addition to the Montessori curriculum, presenting children with the original tools but in a more modern medium.
