Bogga Magic

Overview

Bogga Magic offers an interactive look at the magic of illusion for the very young. Preschoolers can dress the star of the show, choose magic tricks for him to perform, and exercise their creativity and language skills as they play this low-key, stress-free activity.

  • Creative control over look and feel of Ted, the magician
  • Interactive magic show puts kids in control
  • Intuitive control for all activities
  • Unique interactions foster language development
  • Interesting way to apply cause and effect

Quality

Bogga Magic is a high-quality app. Developers have really focused on making the app intuitive and easy to use. All of the features work as expected and are well-designed for the target audience. The artwork and sound effects are cute and fun, and the tasks that make the app work are perfect for very young children.

Education

This is a very low-key app that will delight young children while providing essential practice in reasoning, language, sequencing and a host of other readiness skills.  It’s a fun way to put your child in charge of learning through play. Players first get to dress the main character in their choice of colors, which is a great time to talk about and name colors as well. Next, they can assemble a magic wand to use in the show. While they work, be sure to talk about “top” and “bottom” and other descriptive words and phrases. Once the wand is ready, the show begins!

Your child can name the bear anything he or she wants, but for convenience’s sake, we will follow the designers’ lead and call him “Ted.” Ted takes center stage and young users can choose from an assortment of illusions by choosing options on the right of the screen. These are grouped by type, and your child will enjoy exploring each section to make Ted perform different types of tricks.  The tricks range from standard stage illusions like floating through a hoop or changing the content of boxes through very unusual feats that will astound and amaze little ones. Each is accompanied by appropriate oohs and aahs from the audience, as well as the occasional “Ta-dah!” from Ted. As the magic show goes on, have your young one describe what is happening in each trick, and speculate about how the trick was done. Be sure to use sequencing words like “first, next, and then,” position words, and descriptive words.

Ted also reacts when your child touches him. Most of the interactions are cute, but some sensitive children might be a bit offended when he passes a little gas!  Young users can also change Ted’s outfit color or try out a different type of magic wand by using the controls on the left hand side of the screen.

Entertainment

Magic is fascinating to nearly all age groups, and young children are generally no exception, especially when they are in charge of the show. It doesn’t really matter the magic is digital; the point is to use the action on the screen as a jumping off place for language and for learning. Developers also have included a link to a magical project that your children might well enjoy in real life, so check the parents’ section for details.  This app provides lots of control to empower children, which will enhance its play value for many usages, too.

Value

Bogga Magic is a good value, especially if your child is about to see or has recently seen a magician. Making that connection to real life will be invaluable! Even if no real magic acts are on the horizon, this app is a wonderful tool for encouraging those all important language skills. It’s vital that young children get a good command of how to describe what they see and experience, learn to relate events in sequence, and learn to tell about position in space using words like “under,” “above,” and “beside.”

Child Friendliness

Bogga Magic is very child-friendly. The app contains a parents’ section that is well-protected by an effective parent gate. Inside this section are outside links, social media, and ratings, as well as instructions to use the app.  The parents’ area contains some great information about how to make the most of the app, as well as information about a magic trick children can learn from the developers’ website, so it’s well worth a look. Children who play will just experience the app, and parents can rest assured that the kids are safe no matter what buttons they happen to touch.

25 How to draw for kids instructions - using letters

Children can learn to draw using much faster cards. Children at a young age learn to recognize English alphabets through graphics or toys or be taught in nurseries. But they begin to scribble drawing as long to learn how to write alphabets. Drawing becomes interesting and easy to understand when introduced with alphabets. Of course, the basic shapes are widely used to help them learn the design, but using letters and forms or without using forms is much easier. Imagine how we can make a simple puppet, with the help of the letter "A" or a rainbow with the use of letters 'B' and 'C' and so on.

The design is very important to start at a very young age because children are very prone to design and, in addition, they hardly have any kind of pressure from the study. Even at the age of 6-8 years is not so much study and is easy for parents to engage their children in another activity. Design and improve wrist movement also makes learning many new things.

My Little Car Wash

Free

Download on the App Store

Overview

It’s time for a hands on trip to the car wash and man are those cars dirty. Kids have the opportunity to spray off paint splotches, scrub the tires, and make sure the cars all get squeaky clean. On the way to the car wash, they might get a bit distracted by the invitations to unlock the premium version of the app and, within the premium version of the app, may get distracted by the invitations to play other apps, but once they get to the actual game, they’ll enjoy picking out a car to wash and making sure it gets clean.

  • Different cars to wash
  • Multiple car wash features
  • Car washing liquid lab
  • Funny self-portraits

Quality

As long as kids follow the play buttons, they’ll have little trouble getting to the car wash game. Once in the game, kids are given instructions for choosing a car, but that’s where the explicit guidance ends. Kids must figure out what to wash and how to wash it in order to get to the next step which can be a bit frustrating at first. The app itself is also a bit busy, with a mini laboratory (in the premium version) that doesn’t seem to really connect to the car wash, a parent info section, and invitations to download the premium version or other developer apps.

Education

This app is not being rated for education.

Entertainment

It takes awhile for the car to go from dirty to clean. This means there are a lot of steps to keep kids busy. In the free version, there are only four steps to get through the car wash. In the premium version, there are 7 steps to get to the end. Once kids clean one car, they can select a different car and start the process all over again. Buried in the parent section and, surprisingly, protected by a parental block, is a funny self-portrait game that will also entertain kids.

Value

The free version of the app is fun for kids and worth checking out. In the premium version, kids get access to more cars, more car wash features, and the mini laboratory, but these features do not really justify the price. The fact that the premium version comes with more ads for other developer apps also lowers its value.

Child Friendliness

The app is full of parental controls to keep kids from accidentally purchasing the premium version of the app, downloading other apps from the developer, or accessing social media. Access to the funny self-portrait feature is also protected by a parental block. However, kids can still access the parent info area and see that it links out to Facebook and Twitter. In the free version of the app, they are continuously encouraged to unlock the premium version of the app. In the premium version of the app, the premium version ads are replaced with an invitation to play a new game which is actually an ad that takes kids to a page featuring other apps from the developer.
