The best color & shape app for toddlers! A fun, motivating, and highly intuitive playground to learn the names of 11 shapes and 11 colors, specially designed for toddlers and preschoolers. Surprise! our cute penguins entertain children as they progress through the levels. What’s more, as teachers we know that some children need more time to learn so we’ve built in a unique “practice mode” enabling parents and teachers to select only one shape or one color to focus on. Busy Shapes & Colors’ game play is simple, perfectly adapted to toddlers, it is specifically designed to sharpen their fine motor skills. Also, as children progress through the levels, they encounter new challenges, maintaining their level of interest and engagement. For instance, fun effects on the shapes increase the level of rapidity and dexterity needed. Based on the Award-winning Busy Shapes app, this game is 100% intuitive, making it ideal preschoolers. From the onset, children can choose to focus on colors or shapes or mix them together. No matter which path they choose, they will regularly discover a cute penguin animation, keeping them motivated to go further. The free version includes 10 levels of each game.

Critical pre-literacy skills are developed long before elementary school — through play and interactive conversations with caregivers at home. Free early-literacy apps from the Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) are made for parents and caregivers to use with their children to encourage fun and rewarding interactions and promote dialogue — giving children the foundations they need to read, learn, and thrive. Welcome to Photo Play — a fun and creative way to get families talking! Just by talking with your little one — and helping them talk with you — you can get them ready to read and ready to learn about the world. This app is specially designed for you and your child to use together, talking and laughing about everyday objects and interactions as you play. In Photo Play, you'll use your own family photographs and memories to develop conversations and early literacy skills with your children. Choose a photo and have fun drawing on it, decorating it with stickers, playing hide and seek with it, and talking about people and events you see in the image. Photo Play can help you build your child's language skills even when you've put the app down, during everyday activities like going shopping, running errands, or walking to the playground. Photo Play will give you plenty to talk about all day! Photo Play is a product of the Reach Every Reader initiative at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, in collaboration with FableVision Studios. Check out HGSE’s related apps, Small Wonders and Animal Antics — equally fun, and equally ready to spark conversation and lay the foundations for reading!
