Turn playtime into a toddler learning adventure with 16 interactive educational games designed for curious toddlers aged 2 and up. BamBamoo brings together colors, shapes, numbers, puzzles, sorting, and memory activities in one simple, beautifully designed app — built to grow with your child's earliest learning milestones. Learn Colors & Matching Bright, playful activities help toddlers recognize primary and secondary colors while building color-matching skills through simple, repeatable interactions. Perfect for children just starting to notice the world in color. Discover Shapes From circles and squares to triangles and stars, kids learn to identify and sort shapes through engaging matching activities designed specifically for early learners who are just beginning to recognize patterns and forms. Practice Numbers Build early math confidence with activities that introduce number recognition, simple counting, and number-to-object matching — all paced for toddler attention spans and skill levels. Solve Toddler Puzzles Simple, satisfying puzzles encourage toddlers to think, match, and problem-solve. Each puzzle is designed to be challenging enough to hold interest without causing frustration. Build Memory & Problem-Solving Skills Interactive memory and matching challenges support concentration, logical thinking, and early problem-solving — key cognitive skills for toddlers heading toward preschool. Develop Fine Motor Skills Every activity is touch-based and designed to encourage hand-eye coordination and fine motor development, helping little fingers get comfortable with precise, intentional movement. Sorting & Categorizing Sorting games introduce toddlers to grouping, classification, and cause-and-effect — foundational thinking skills that support later academic learning. Montessori-Inspired Activities BamBamoo's games are inspired by Montessori learning principles, encouraging toddlers to explore concepts naturally through hands-on, self-directed play rather than passive screen time. Teacher-Approved Learning Every game is designed with guidance from early childhood educators, ensuring activities are age-appropriate, developmentally sound, and easy for young children to understand independently. Safe & Simple Play - 16 educational mini-games in one app - Works completely offline — no wifi or data needed - No ads, ever - Designed specifically for toddlers aged 2 and up - Bright, child-friendly graphics that hold attention - Large buttons and easy controls made for little hands - Simple one-time purchase — pay once, play forever Why Parents Choose BamBamoo Unlike many kids' apps filled with ads, pop-ups, or pressure to subscribe, BamBamoo is a distraction-free space where toddlers can explore and learn at their own pace. There's nothing to click out of, nothing to upsell, and nothing that interrupts learning — just focused, screen-time-well-spent play. Perfect For Every Moment From quiet mornings at home to long car rides, flights, waiting rooms, or restaurant tables, BamBamoo makes screen time meaningful wherever you are. Because it works fully offline, there's no need to worry about wifi or data — just open the app and go. Built To Grow With Your Child With 16 different games spanning colors, shapes, numbers, puzzles, sorting, and memory, BamBamoo offers enough variety to keep toddlers engaged as their skills develop — from first color recognition all the way to early counting and pattern matching.

About

Lexikon

Read full description

Your child's teacher already told you their reading level. AVI M3. Grade 2. Reading level L3. Most "educational" apps ignore that number and hand every kid the same content. Lexikon doesn't. Lexikon is a reading app built around one idea: articles pitched exactly at the level your kid reads at right now, in the language(s) they're actually learning to read in — not generic "ages 6-8" content, not gamified filler, not video. WHAT'S INSIDE Hundreds of encyclopedia-style articles and hands-on project guides, written from scratch at real graded reading levels, across five languages: • Dutch — AVI M1 to M4 • Turkish — levels 1 to 5 • Danish — Trin 1 to 4 • Spanish — leveled L1 to L4 • English — leveled L1 to L4 Topics range from animals and the water cycle to black holes, DNA, the Cold War, and how AI actually works — real subject matter, written down to a specific reading level, not dumbed down into a different app for every age. Every article ends with two talking-point questions, so reading turns into a two-minute conversation at the dinner table instead of a silent screen. BUILT FOR TWO-LANGUAGE HOUSEHOLDS Raising a bilingual reader? Lexikon supports two active languages at once — Spanish and English, Turkish and Dutch, whatever your household actually speaks — each with its own independent reading level. Your child doesn't get bumped down to "beginner" in their stronger language just because they're still catching up in the other one. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNTS. There's no sign-up, no profile, no email address collected — ever. No ads shown to your kid, personalized or otherwise. Nothing about your child is sold or shared with advertisers. Compare that to the reading apps you've already tried: independent reviewers have flagged well-known "free" kids' reading apps for showing personalized ads to children or selling parent account data to ad networks. Lexikon has no accounts to sell data from in the first place. OFFLINE BY DESIGN Articles download once and stay on the device — no connection required to read on a flight, at a cabin, or when you've (sensibly) turned the WiFi off. No autoplay, no infinite feed, no notifications trying to pull your kid back in beyond a single optional daily reading reminder. READING STREAKS THAT REWARD ACTUAL READING Track progress by category and build a reading streak — the reward is finishing another real article, not unlocking a cartoon or a spin-the-wheel prize. FREE TO START Every language includes 10 full articles free, no payment info required. After that, Lexikon Premium unlocks unlimited reading in every language your family uses: • Monthly — $0.99/month • Annual — $4.99/year • Lifetime — $14.99 one-time, yours forever All three plans work with Family Sharing, so one purchase covers the whole household. New articles publish every month in every language you read — this isn't a fixed library you'll exhaust in a weekend. — Subscription Terms: Lexikon Monthly ($0.99/month) and Lexikon Annual ($4.99/year) are auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price of the selected plan. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID account settings; no cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active period. Lexikon Lifetime ($14.99) is a one-time, non-renewing purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is device support: BamBamoo at 3 against Lexikon's 1. BamBamoo also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
