## What is Matching Puzzles for Kids?

Matching Puzzles for Kids is an exciting 3D puzzle matching app for ages 2 and up. 

The app is modeled after the popular wooden puzzles with cutouts. The user is presented with a board that has 3 cutouts in it. One at a time, a puzzle piece appears on top of the board and the user must place the piece in the proper cutout. When it is properly placed, a new puzzle piece appears. Once all of the pieces are placed into the correct cutouts, a new puzzle board appears. 

Unlike other apps of this type, the puzzle pieces and board are large and the screen is not cluttered with distractions. 

Switch Accessible Puzzles was developed by a joint effort of professionals with over 50 years of combined experience in software development for children.
