What People Are Saying
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Since buying this App a few days ago, it's all my 5 year old has asked for. He has played it every day, and hasn't asked for any of his favorite non-educational games at all"


5 different challenges with varying difficulty to practice skills 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

• Math Birds - Pesky birds keep taking your fruit. Learn subtraction by figuring out how many fruits are left.
• Clock Waterfall - There's a waterfall in your path. Find the log with the correct time to block the water get across the pond.
• Word Mountain - How do you get over the gaps in the mountain? Touch the correct Dolch sight word to jump! 
• Math Bridge - Crossing a bridge can be tough when there's rocks weighing down one side. Figure out how many rocks are needed to balance it out with basic addition skills. 
• Word Maze - This corn maze is tricky but if you can identify the object that starts with the letter spoken, you'll make it through. 

We automatically adjust the difficulty of each challenge as your child improves and reward them with a special 10c coin for "leveling up". 


7 school activities to help enrich your child's creativity 
(unlock new activities each time you reach the school) 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

• Monday: Painting and color mixing - four sized brushes can be used to paint pictures. Mix the 5 basic colors (red, blue, yellow, black, white) to create new colors to paint with.
• Tuesday: Piano - there's a baby piano you can play. As you touch the keys, the notes are displayed on the sheet music above. 
• Wednesday: Learn to draw - trace the outlines step by step to learn how to draw. When you're done tracing, you can paint your creations.
• Thursday: Remix - touch any of the buttons to turn on the music. Mix and match different buttons to create your own songs 
• Friday: Collage - create beautiful collages with different papers, shapes and stickers
• Saturday: Bubbles - take a trip to the bubble geysers and have fun popping them. Look out for coins hidden in the bubbles!
• Sunday: Bike race - jump on a bike and ride down the trail. Tilt your device to control the player as they go through puddles and markers 


 What is the game like? What can I expect? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

- The game starts outside Timmy's house. Tap on the School sign when you're ready to start. 
- Timmy will need to complete 3 challenges on his way to school. Each time you start the game it will pick up from the level you last completed
- At the end of each challenge, you'll win a coin. If you make no mistakes, you get two coins. These coins can be used to purchase mini games back at home.
- Once Timmy reaches the school, tap on the calendar day to select the activity you'd like to play. If you've already unlocked today's activity, you'll win a key to unlock another activity. Reach the school 7 times to unlock them all!

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2023-09-08*

I bought this for my kids and they played for less than 5 minutes before getting to “school” that was just moving stickers around. Everything else was locked and was boring for them. This stupid crap game should have been free. I’ve had FREE games that were better than this one. Oh and based on the super limited ways of earning coins nothing is even purchasable with said coins.

### 5/5 — HE IS HERE

*2023-03-15*

JAWFAN the JERKY crow has killed my family

### 5/5 — got killed in this game

*2022-06-25*

man I got owned

### 5/5 — You absolute idiots

*2022-05-11*

This is one of the best games on the App Store. Ok, maybe I’m over exaggerating a little, but this game was perfect for my 4 year old brain. The games are fun. The soundtrack is an absolute bop. The math repeats itself. It’s just all great.

### 3/5 — Worked for 5 minutes

*2021-04-16*

This program had my son answer 3 questions then do one activity for $1.99. Definitely not worth the money. Everything else was locked. When trying to count the piggy bank change, the program just crashes.

### 5/5 — Infinite monkey theory

*2020-09-20*

Money typewriter

### 5/5 — Sunshine1984

*2020-07-06*

Crashes to get the coin

### 5/5 — Our favourite game

*2019-12-30*

Both my daughters (now 4 and 7) still play this game.  They challenge each other to see who can get the most coins and games on their shelf.  Hope they keep providing support for this game as way above the rest we have tried!

### 1/5 — Not impressed, not challenging

*2018-11-11*

I’m sorry to say that this app is not worth a single cent for the full version. It gives one math problem and two sight words then onto the same 7 choices at the school house. My 5 year old has no interest. If I could, I would get my money back and delete it completely.

### 5/5 — The coins are insane!!!!!!!!!!!

*2017-11-04*

Timmy's Kindergarten Adventure is fun!!! I got every toy in the shop with a leftover of 2K Coinsn
