If your kids are animal lovers and you’re looking for something both fun and educational, with tons of content and lots of replay value, then with 12 games in one app, the fabulous Animal Playground is for you.
The 12 games included in the fabulous Animal Playground are:
• ERASE - 12 fun scratch cards: Little ones who may not yet have the fine motor skills to draw or color can rub away the silver surface of each picture to discover what’s underneath!
• DRAW: Free-draw on the blank canvas or choose one of 27 different animal scenes to color-in. Toddlers can use the paint bucket to tap and fill-in different colors, while older kids can choose from 3 different brush sizes.
• PIANO: Fancy some music? Free play on a keyboard with the notes supplied by cats, frogs, cows or fish!
• REMEMBER: Just like the classic ‘Simon Says’ game, animals sing notes and your child has to repeat them in the same order.
• FIND IT: See if you can spot all the differences in each of the 30 animal scenes.
• PAIRS: This version of the classic matching game starts easy but includes 110 cards!
• PUZZLE: 15 puzzles with 4 pieces each for the littlest ones and 60 additional puzzles with 8 pieces each for older kids.
• ROLL: A ‘tap and turn’ game for children who would find the slider puzzles too much of a challenge.
• SLIDER PUZZLE: With patience and persistence you CAN get the pieces in the right spot of 11 beautiful sliding puzzles!
• COLLECT: Help Mama fish through the 25 mazes to collect stars for her 5 little babies.
• CATCH: Like ‘whack-a-mole’ you have to tap the animals as they pop up - but make sure you get the right ones!
• COLORS: A fun, fishy, bubble flinging game.
The games in the fabulous Animal Playground are designed to engage children as young as two years old but increase in complexity and difficulty so that children up to the age of six will still find them a challenge. Perfect for siblings to play together or for kids to enjoy with their parents.
While playing all these games in addition to having fun your children are developing and reinforcing all kinds of skills, including:
• An understanding of object permanence
• Matching and discriminating
• Fine and visual motor
• Spatial and bilateral awareness
• Logic and problem solving
• Persistence
• Independent play
This app was developed by me together with my children, incorporating feedback from parents and educators. Examples of some of the positive comments I’ve received are:
“Forget about downloading multiple apps to ensure all your kid’s favorite games are on your iPad. Install one and be done with the fabulous Animal Playground” - bestappsforkids.com
“A very high quality app that is great value for money. Your children will want to play with this for hours... Undoubtedly a 5 Star and EAS Recommended app.” - educationalappstore.com

Great app for young learners.
Nov 29, 2012 I really like this app for young children for several reasons. First, there are plenty of activities in this single app to keep children entertained for quite a while. It would be a great app to use with the "Guided Access" feature! I love that there are no advertisements within the app and no links that will take children outside of the app. The buttons are easy to push and very child-friendly. The graphics are very cute, too. There is a also a good variety of skills leves that can be entertained with this app. Children will love the easy versions of the puzzle and collect game and parents will love the color and slider puzzles. It's a win-win!more -
Worth every penny!
Nov 18, 2012 This is a FABULOUS app for children 2-7! There are so many games and they are all wonderful. Activities increase memory, language, fine motor, and attention to detail skills. I loved that it was an app that both of my children (3 & 5) were excited about and was one that I could sit down and play with them! The timer that parents are able to set to limit amount of time spent playing is an added bonus! Definitely worth your money!!!more -
Great app
Nov 28, 2012 This app is full of fun and educational games for young children of various skill levels. My 5 year old really likes many of the games but some are a little too challenging for her. There is a timer so you don't need to keep track of how long your child uses the app. The piano in this app is the best, the sounds are very cute and you can customize it in several different ways. The app is a little steep but it is worth it.more

Great fine motor and cognitive development!
Nov 29, 2012 Wow, what a great app! I love all of the different activities. They provide for lots of fine motor development and cognitive development. The parent has the ability to control the amount of time a child can play and the settings can not be changed accessed unless you hold the button down for 3 seconds. This app provides enough differentiation that both my 3 year old and 6 year old are able to enjoy it.more

What’s Groovy
Very cute app that includes 12 different mini games for your child to play!! Perfect for ages 2-4 years old! There is enough variety to keep your child interested and you can even set a time limit to restrict the amount of time your child is on the app! It comes in 15 different languages! The games cover a variety of skills such as finding differences in pictures, coloring, matching, puzzles, memory, music, tracing, and more! The only thing I would change is adding voice prompts for the games!

Fantastic Kids App
I think this is a fantastic app for kids. There is a nice variety of games so the kids will not get bored. I also felt a couple of the games were really unique as I have never seen them in another app before. The graphics in this game are adorable as well. Would love to see a Christmas theme for the upcoming holiday. -
Wonderful!
This is a great app for toddlers and preschoolers! Games designed just at their level, with good learning embedded into it all. My 4 year old chooses to play it often, and the price is great. -
Lots of fun!
My 4 y.o. loves this app. There are lots of different games, and they're all cute in addition to being educational.
