Matching Puzzle Cards: Colors
© 2013 CJ Educations
This app turns the pedagogy of the flash card inside out, by making each card into an animated two piece jigsaw puzzle that you can snap together the parts. For example, you are asked to match the pink socks with the pink shoes; you then touch the shoes and they'll do a dance for you. Color words are reinforced through verbal cues and highlighted words. There are 12 colors and 24 related object words, a song with highlighted lyrics and a game where you race the bunny to collect his eggs. Because it is high in child control, this is a good first introduction to touch screens, with a bit of fine-motor development and language experience mixed in. Music and narration can be turned toggled on or off; a nice touch, and there's a bunny racing game where you collect the colors. All in all, this is a solid, well designed app with limited content.
