I feel that it is very important to not allow the I Pad to become a toy and it is only brought out when Adeline can interact with it when someone else is around.
Here are some of our favorites;
Brillkids Little Reader- they have an app for their reading program. I love it.
ABC Touch- alphabet game
Things That Go Together- connecting things that relate together
Any of the Duck Duck Moose apps- they are all great
Montessori Counting Board- great app teaching one on one correspondence and counting to ten
Little matchups ABC Alphabet - connecting letter sound to letter and upper case to lower case
Meet the Sight Words Flashcards
Meet the Colors
Meet the Shapes - they are all great
Guess the Dress - Dressing for the correct weather
Toddler Counting 123- this is one of our very favorites we play it ever day. Teaches counting to twenty along with great visual searching
Puzzle Farm- Fun puzzles with a farm theme
Little Puzzles Preschool Games- four piece puzzles
Photo Touch Farm Animals- Touch the correct animal
Little Sorter Alphabet- sorting letters
Montessori Matching Board- Matching items together
Tozzle- Love this app! Tons of great puzzles at different levels
What are some of your favorites? Would love to have you share in comments.
I agree that the Duck Duck Moose apps are great. I also like Eric Carle's My Very First App. It's a fun memory game and it has the beautiful artwork of Eric Carle.
ReplyDeleteStar fall ABCs. We love the meet the letters and duck duck moose too
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas Anna and Abby! I love Eric Carle, need to find that app.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit pricey, but we love Special Words (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/special-words/id451723454?mt=8). It's all the flash cards/words from the DSUSA See & Learn program in a matching format. Katie does fantastic with it, and it was easier than training her brothers how to do the printed flash cards and the four-picture frames with her. ;)
ReplyDeleteInteresting list. Know a few of these and will be checking the others out. For my mixed ages group I have been gathering many suggested apps to try and then review. We are getting close to the end of the trial period for our original group and I'll be posting reviews at:http://countryfunchildcare.com/my-speciality-blogs/i-pad-2/our-apps/.
ReplyDeleteFor now here is a proven favorite with my toddler and preschool group - Spot the Dot from Ruckus Media Group ($4). This one is worth the money. - color review, following directions. Each time you play the dots are relocated. This also works well with my group for cooperative play/interaction.
Special Words is an amazing app. I work in the Intensive Learning Center at my sons elementary school and our autistic and Downs students really respond well to the app.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Similarly also check out Splash Math 3. Splash Math 3 also offers basic math problem and helpful for improving math skills. Splash Math Grade 3 covers entire curriculum.
