Starfall Gingerbread vs Noodle Words

The Starfall Gingerbread app is a delicious way to learn 2D and 3D shapes. Children create their own cookies, decorating them as they learn more shapes and colors. In this app edition, create a tray of gingerbread cookies, and choose a favorite cookie to run through a maze following shapes or shape patterns. Run the maze again and again, it’s different every time!
