All little conductors will have a blast keeping the trains on the tracks as they collect coins. Each fun world is based on a color, and the train they are driving is that color also and puffs smoke as it drives.

Train Colors Sound Pages Learn colors and have a super fun time playing with the colors sound pages. Each color has it’s own page and your little conductors can hear the color and see the train that matches the word. This will help develop early reading skills and definitely color recognition. They will also be able to tap everything else on the page and hear a cute sound too, making each page unique and a great way to learn through play. This is also a great tool for testing color blindness, and will also promote: -Fine motor skills. -Memory and recognition skills. -Vocabulary and language. - Color recognition. Train Find the Difference Games This engaging toot-riffic train what's different game is again based on each color world. Your little ones will be looking at two scenes on the page and they have to find the difference between the two scenes. Once they find it they win that level and will be taken to the next game in that color series, and with five different levels it makes the Train Games for Colors app even more entertaining and fun! Playtime With Trains Storybook Another delightful feature of the Trains for Kids app is the Playtime with Train Storybook. Find out what each trains color is and their names and then find out what they like to do when they play. Tap the trains in the story and hear their different toots and horns, and when they are playing tap every item on the page and watch it magically turn into something else based on that theme! For example when the aqua train named Party is playing he’s pretending to be at his birthday party and birthday music will be playing and when you tap the balloons they change color, or tap the present and see a different present, and tap the birthday cake to see a different cake. It’s a super fun interactive book that is sure to thrill all little conductors. Chug-a-chug-a-choo-choo your way into a rainbow of fun with the Train Games for Colors app, and have a toot-riffic time learning colors, driving trains, and playing with trains!

About

TrackSprouts

Read full description

TrackSprouts is a gentle train-track builder made just for little ones (ages 3–5) — the digital cousin of the classic wooden train set. Your child drags real track pieces onto the board — straight rails and curved corners, just like the wooden ones — then presses GO and watches the little train chug along everything that connects. Close the loop and the train goes round and round to a big confetti celebration! Reach a gap and the train stops with a friendly toot and heads back — just like the real toy. No reading, no timers, no pressure. Just build, press GO, and watch. LEARN BY BUILDING (REAL PIECES, REAL THINKING) • Six real pieces — two straights and four corners — chosen and placed by hand, never auto-solved. • Picking the right curve builds spatial reasoning, planning and problem solving. • The train shows what connects: watch it run, spot the gap, fix the track. Cause and effect little engineers can feel. • A gentle glow hints where the track is open — a helping hand, never the answer. MADE FOR LITTLE HANDS • Big chunky pieces that snap onto the board with a woody clack. • Tap a piece to pop it off. No wrong moves — anything can be rebuilt. • Your child's track is saved automatically, so their railway is always waiting. • Three board sizes, from a little loop to a big builder's yard. • Four worlds: meadow, snow, beach and dusk. SAFE BY DESIGN • No ads. Ever. • No tracking, no analytics, no data collection. • No accounts and no internet required — it works completely offline. • Parent-only settings are tucked behind a parental gate. From the makers of HoopSprouts, KickSprouts, CountSprouts and PaintSprouts. Made by a parent, for a little learner. Questions? Email donnguyen@snug.com
