Teaches: helping at home

CTR Rating: 64%

CTR Review

Great narration and music illustrate a theme of interest to any parent or teacher: the importance of children helping at home, with jobs like taking out the trash or folding the laundry. There's not much to actually do in this app, however. For example, when it comes to drying clothes, you don't get to touch and drag the cloths -- participating in the activity. Instead a lot of the action is done for you. There's no answer in the Parent Think, so there's no closure. There should be an additional prompt. Once you complete all the tasks, you can repeat the game which takes about 30 minutes. For $free -- OK... kids will like it a few times and then delete it. The theme (and the price) make it an appealing choice for an early childhood classroom, however. Created by Gradient Labs for the Fred Rogers Center.
