Labo Leaves
© 2015 Labo Lado Inc.
There are hundreds of drag-and-drop puzzles on touch screens these days. But few are as beautiful as this one, and none (that we've seen) make the puzzles out of very real looking leaves. Each puzzles starts with the outline of an animal or person, and some colorful fall leaves gathered on the bottom of the screen. Your job is to drag each leaf onto it's outline to finish the forms. Once complete, the animal is shown in a short, tasteful animated skit. The characters include a butterfly, bird, goldfish, monkey, pig, dog, chicken, cow, antelope, ostrich, bison, donkey, giraffe, balloon peddler, circus clown, dog lady, woman and a band). The animated routines are clever. No language is used in this app, and the interface isn't the best, but it starts without a menu -- so failure isn't an option. The bottom line? If you value aesthetics in the materials and books you choose for your child, get this app.
