Tim's Journey is a children's app full of fun games to help kids learn important skills like thinking, attention, logic, counting, memory, reading, writing, fine motor skills, drawing and more. Give yourself some time to relax while your little one plays and develops. Tim the Kitten will guide your child along, celebrating their progress and encouraging them if things aren’t going over well. Tim is a cute character who helps your child with studying, developing, training and acquiring both knowledge and new skills. Tim’s Journey, an application for early child development, has been developed in participation with professional educators and preschool education experts. The educational games in the Tim’s Journey app for the App Store are designed for different levels of difficulty, suitable for kids of different ages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years old. Level-appropriate games and exercises become available in the app depending on the skills your child (baby) has already mastered. GAMES FOR DEVELOPING THINKING, ATTENTION AND LOGIC SKILLS A large selection of fun puzzles for toddlers and preschoolers will help you instill a love for learning in your kids – they won’t be able to get enough! Puzzles, memory games, teaching games and many others will develop thinking and visual memory even in toddlers. NUMBER AND MATH GAMES FOR KIDS Counting games that are clear and fun for kids will help them master this complex skill set with ease. Games like number scales are one of the most effective ways to teach a kid how to count – a good alternative to abstract math tasks. LEARNING ABOUT WORDS, SPEECH AND SPEAKING All games are filled with concepts from different areas of life: vehicles, animals, jobs and others. All of them are accompanied by sounds so your toddler will learn new topics easily, stock up on new vocabulary and practice their speech and abc with Tim the Kitten. TEACHING CHILDREN TO DRAW Drawing games are designed so that, as well as training their fine motor skills, your child will learn to draw shapes and objects of differing complexity. SAFETY FIRST Tim’s Adventure doesn’t contain ads and doesn’t require users to enter personal information about their child.
