This App offers 10 (!) different games with different levels of difficulty. Learning leads to learning leads to learning. Children are born wanting to learn and find out. They love to discover new skills and facts. Parents try to help but often find games that are fun but don't teach much, or teach stuff but aren't fun. Ruth Coppard, a leading child psychologist, designed these games to help children to develop the sort of skills that underpin early school learning. These games will encourage children to learn to memorise patterns, to look at detail, to match shapes and pictures, to listen to first sounds. And to always go from left to right - which is how european languages are read and written. Follow this up with lots of games you can play at home and out and about: can you see 3 things with corners? What is round on the car? Play Simon Says: Simon says touch your eye; Simon says touch your knee; Simon says, put your hand on your foot; Show me your thumb, and if he does it, he's out. Can you take your finger for a walk from here [left] to there [right]. Tell me two things that start with a T, I Spy etc. Ideal for anyone at this early stage, the games use brilliant designs, simple colours and silly sounds to make them even more fun. ## Key features - 10 educational games - Designed by child psychologist - Focuses on memory and patterns - Teaches shape and picture matching - Develops left-to-right reading skills - Simple colors and silly sounds ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Picture Finder | $0.99 | one-time | | Odd One Out | $0.99 | one-time | | Number Order | $0.99 | one-time | | When I Grow Up | $0.99 | one-time | | Letters & Sounds | $0.99 | one-time | | All games | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 14) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/whizzy-kids/id436977680/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Whizziekids *2017-12-22, version 5.2.0* Excellent testing different skills and engaging children. Love the encouraging attitude. Great fun. ### 3/5 — E *2013-12-10, version 5.1.0* Still not working properly with iPhone 5. Shame. Otherwise good little app! ### 1/5 — Maze disappointing *2012-06-20* The maze is so disappointing because it goes "off the path" too easily. I have problems with it myself so I wasn't surprised when my 5-yr old got frustrated. I agree with another reader that I wanted to like it. I just don't. ### 5/5 — Very good *2012-02-27, version 2.1.0* Brilliant game, how do I get a full version ? ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2012-02-26* My four year old really enjoyed these games. The maze one was just what I was looking for to help him develop pen ( or at least finger!) control in preparation for writing. Like a lot of boys he is allergic to tracing letters but this is perfect. ### 1/5 — Advertisements *2011-12-24, version 2.1.0* Are in-app ads appropriate for children? Apple needs to make developers make it clear their apps are supported by IAds so I don't waste my time downloading them! ### 3/5 — We like it BUT... *2011-10-30* The parts of the face don't stick on the person and the mazes are buggy. If my daughter goes off the path, the boat disappears and she can't go on to the next level. I want so bad to like this app because it's cute, colorful, and attention-grabbing, but it's too buggy right now. Versapak, I think if you update your iTunes, it should have a component that allows you to always need your password before purchasing, even if it was less than 15 minutes since your last purchase. That's what I have read but don't quote me! :) ### 1/5 — Ads?... Deleted. *2011-07-28* I am one hundred percent against ads in games for small children. At the least it is a nuisance to me as my child has no clue what happened to their game when they click on an attention drawing ad, and at the worst it enables them to be able to make purchases without my knowledge. I reiterate... App deleted. ### 5/5 — Whizzy Kids *2011-07-15, version 1.0* Working professionally with the under 5s, I'd happily recommend this app as a fun, learning through play experience for pre - school children. ### 5/5 — Review whizzykids *2011-05-29, version 1.0* My four year old grandson loves to play on Papa's phone especially the sounds on the monster game ## Frequently asked questions about Whizzy Kids ### What age group is Whizzy Kids for?
