## What is Kids Trucks?

What is Kids Trucks: Preschool Learning?  It is a lot of truck learning fun packed into one app.  This app works with toddlers and preschoolers on learning their letters, numbers, colors, and shapes.  It provides a lot of positive encouragement and incentives to help motivate children to learn and to feel good about their accomplishments (including celebratory fireworks!).  The app also provides fun modes when your child needs a break from learning.
 
Learning Modes: There are currently six learning modes for preschool children and toddlers to use: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers 1-10, numbers 11-20, shapes, and colors.  The child is asked to identify a certain item.  When they pick the correct one, they are showered with praise.  Help is provided if they have trouble picking the correct response as well.  When the child earns five stars, a fun truck animation is provided.  When they reach ten stars, they can then use the stars they earned to shoot off their own fireworks!

Free Play Mode: In free play mode, your child can act like they have their own phone or just continue to explore numbers.  Touch the numbers and hit the call button to play your recorded messages!  Also, they can play with the fun truck animations and sounds.

Record Messages: You can record your own messages both for the free play modes and learning modes.  Personalize your own positive encouragement statements for your child or have fun recording silly messages for them to hear while they play.

Highlights:
* Bright, fun animations that are high resolution for iPad and iPhones with retina displays.
* Trucks with personality!  
* Easy for toddlers and preschoolers to use independently or with an adult.
* Lots of positive praise and encouragement to help kids learn their letters, numbers, shapes, and colors.
* Record your own positive encouragement and messages.
* Fireworks!!!

The free version contains the Free Play Mode (no jackhammer or dump truck) and the Shapes Learning Mode.  It also allows for limited recordings.  You can unlock all modes and features easily via in-app purchase!

ATTENTION
If you don't want your child to accidentally buy the full version, then be sure to disable in-app purchases via the settings menu of your device.

### 4/5 — Please fix this

*2026-04-06*

I really like this but the I hate the fact I can’t use the dump truck I used to play this on my table a few years ago I like the song that plays when you use the dump truck. Also, I can’t use the jack hammer

### 4/5 — Love the music!

*2022-08-16*

I decided to get this app because my brother had it.

### 4/5 — It’s ok

*2019-01-13, version 1.43*

It sucks that you have to unlock it, but my son likes choosing the right answer and loves knocking the stars down.

### 5/5 — Learning made fun

*2015-10-17, version 1.38*

My son is 3 and absolutely loves this game

### 5/5 — Only app my son has interest in

*2014-01-19, version 1.38*

Great for 2 1/2 yr old

### 4/5 — X

*2014-01-14*

My 2 year old son loves this app!! He's learnt all his shapes , can count to 10 & is now learning colours. & the truck rewards & fireworks r great to!!

### 2/5 — Expensive and too complicated

*2014-01-12*

I bought this
For £1.49 having tried the full version for my son. I was hoping to practise colours but the colours
Mode only has a tiny bit of the colour and lots of different colours around it. Nice idea but too much money for a fairly basic app and doesn't have the colours clearly. Why can't the colours buttons be clearer and have different levels - basic colours and then more advanced ones. Disappointed - especially as I just wasted another 69p downloading the other app which I thought was this one.

### 2/5 — Good yet disappointing

*2013-11-02*

Full version will not install on my phone :(
My son loves this ap on my iPad though. It's excellent

### 4/5 — Vroom...Vroom

*2013-06-15, version 1.37*

Lots of fun for little boys who love their cars and trucks.

### 5/5 — Like it

*2013-05-15, version 1.37*

My 3 yr old grandson likes it
