Which of us in childhood did not like superheroes? And today, if you look at the box office of “Avengers”, “Iron Man” and “Batman”, it is difficult to say that we grew up from the age when we want to believe in heroes with superpowers.
In this application, developers offer children aged three to eight years to study the physical properties of various objects.
In each chapter, the child will encounter different objects and study their various abilities in a playful way. Despite the fact that the game is aimed at learning, it is so simple and interesting that the child will very quickly forget that this is an element of learning and will be happy to play, passing through more and more new chapters.
Going through each chapter, the child will need to learn how to allocate his resources and try to complete the task for the allotted time period. Thus, multitasking also develops, in which the baby needs to follow different things at the same time.
In Thinkrolls, your little researcher is waiting for 207 various tasks, all kinds of puzzles and puzzles.
The game is divided into two difficulty levels for children of different ages.
With this application, the child will get acquainted with distant countries, study the names and locations of the continents and oceans, and will also be able to trace climate change and natural conditions.
The kid learns about the peoples of different parts of the planet, their traditions and living conditions.
When the family has an iPad and a child, their acquaintance is inevitable. And no matter how parents were against it, believing that “it’s still too small for the Internet,” having heard from friends “and ours is already learning English on the tablet,” they begin to intensively download educational applications and offer them to the baby. But the application is different for the application - and how to understand how good and useful “this, this is free”, and the better “this is, for thirty rubles”?
I also faced this problem when I decided to prepare my son for school with the help of “tutorials”. By trial and error, I compiled a rating of “the most interesting applications”, where the teachers fell into the following parameters: accessibility of perception, colorfulness, age-appropriate (son six years old), the degree of enthusiasm for the child with the application. And this is what we got.
In the first place - just a hit. The child fanatically unravels the words, uses the sound mode with pleasure and proudly demonstrates success. In my opinion, the author could make more “juicy" graphics, but in any case, this application has become our favorite. The cost of pleasure is 66 rubles.
We gave the second place. Without any frills, completely simple and understandable, this application perfectly teaches the basics of the account. To multiply cherries, fold lemons and divide peaches - in childhood I had cardboard cards for this, my son today has an iPad app. The cost of this application is 33 rubles, and I believe that we spent them not in vain.
In third place is the “memory." In my opinion, this game is not suitable for a six-year-old boy - it is for children 3-4 years old, not older. However, the son with pleasure finds hidden objects, adjusts the level of complexity for himself and enjoys the success. Perhaps because the game has absolutely wonderful graphics and funny voice acting. The application is free, which, as a mom, cannot but please me
The fourth place for us is the alphabet. Teaching. Despite the rather artless graphics, the application copes with the task of teaching the baby the ABC. The application has a speaker, as well as fully interactive slides. The son, despite the fact that he knows the alphabet well, enjoys playing with the application. The cost of the application is 66 rubles.
In fifth place is another alphabet - this time English. Application . Teaching not only introduces the alphabet, but also teaches you to type! Very decent voice acting, funny cartoon helpers - the child is satisfied, and the English alphabet is already subdued. The cost of the application is only 33 rubles.
In sixth place is the application. The application teaches 99 important words that are used in everyday life. I find fault with age again - in my opinion, the application is not for six years, but for an earlier age, but it is absolutely wonderfully drawn, absolutely interactive, and my son likes it. The cost is 33 rubles.
Seventh place. Despite a bunch of additional features, such as fun music, colorful characters and excellent colorful design, his son likes the fruit app more. But, nevertheless, "Fun Scores" also get a well-deserved place in our family ranking. The cost of the toy is 99 rubles.
Eighth place. Despite the eighth line, the application is excellent - it has 40 (!!!) different games of different categories, such as: puzzle, memory, labyrinth, find the difference, drawing, color by numbers, unravel the web, find a match and others. The application is free!
Ninth place. The application with good graphics, really teaches English words, is multifunctional - you can colorize, collect puzzles, take tests, but ... Descriptive accompaniment, apparently, was made up of Tajiks: inscriptions like “the best training happens during the game sometimes appear on the screen: complete the puzzle and earn a bonus stickers. " It bothers me. The application price is 33 rubles.
In tenth place, they are comfortably settled. The application helps to remember wild and domestic animals, their names, sounds that they make. Great graphics, the ability to record animal names with your voice - the application is just super! The tenth place is because it was one of the first applications that I downloaded without paying attention to age: it is still intended for children 3-4 years old. The cost of the toy is 66 rubles.
