Winner of the People's Choice Award for Best Application at the Creativepool Awards 2016. Patterns with Ibbleobble is an exciting preschool shape matching game that helps children learn pattern sequences. This app will help them to decipher sequence problem-solving, understand repetition and familiarity, allowing them to recognise order and make predictions. By joining their new friends in Ibbleobble, each child can choose a cute character companion who will guide them along their journey of learning. Each character represents a different level of difficulty: Mr. Mousey shows beginners the way, whilst Florence the Fox is there to guide more advanced learners. At Ibbleobble, we understand that everyone’s different, so our app allows young learners to progress at their own pace, or take a challenge against the clock! The friendly, easy-to-use interface presents a range of simplistic sequence of images on-screen, allowing children to choose answers from a multiple-choice list. To recognise their hard work and achievement, children will collect their character’s favourite objects as a reward. Whether it’s cheese for Mr. Mousey, or chocolate coins for Lola the Chicken, the more they achieve, the happier their companion will be! • Match the Patterns • Simple gameplay • Multiple choice • Repetition to aid learning • 7 levels • Optional timer • Fantastic sounds and voice-over • Colourful characters • Vibrant graphics • No in-app purchases • No third-party advertising • 100% ALWAYS ad-free • Includes Kelly animated iMessage stickers • Universal purchase (Available for iPhone, iPad, iPod and Apple TV) We also offer some great low cost app bundles too, so be sure to check out Ibbleobble Clever clogs, Brainbox, Brainiac & Wiz Kids to cherry pick the right educational bundle for your child. www.ibbleobble.com www.facebook.com/iblobl www.instagram.com/iblobl www.twitter.com/_iblobl Are you enjoying Patterns with Ibbleobble?
