A very easy game for babies since 6 months. I have created it for my 7 month old son, Lucas. The baby only have to touch the ladybug, and the ladybug will fly to another site. ATTENTION: As the baby often use 4 or 5 fingers, is recommended to disable "Multitasking Gestures". You can enable / disable: Settings - General - Multitasking Gestures. ***************************************************** Acknowledgements: All users for their sincere and positive feedback. Especially "Lucy7771234" from USA, I did not know that this application could help as much.
