Rabbids Coding
by Ubisoft
Rabbids Coding teaches early coding skills, in this case issuing a series of commands to get the crazy rabbits overrunning a spaceship into portals and safely home. Rabbids, and robots as well, start at the beginning of a path and kids must choose from a selection of orders to move the characters along the path to the portal and perform actions such as hitting buttons, or vacuuming up trash, along the way. The graphics are highly polished and 3D allowing kids to move the camera around to get a better look at the path (and everything going on around them). The app is suitable for beginners or even those that enjoy puzzle games.
Puzzle Play: Toddler’s Games
by wonderkind GmbH
Puzzle Play is an shape puzzle app for toddlers and preschoolers. After choosing from animals, buildings or vehicles, kids are presented with four shapes dangling from strings over a puzzle, and they pick the shapes off of the strings to put them in the puzzle. The puzzle itself is slowly revealed rather than presented all at once, to make it easier to put together, with shaded areas guiding which pieces to put in next. The production values are impressive, and once a puzzle is complete it reveals itself as three-dimensional blocks. The app is free to try, with in-app purchases to unlock additional puzzles.
Tough Bugs
If your child is into critters, here’s an interesting one. You just know that anything called the diabolical ironclad beetle is going to be tough, but it turns out to be impervious to being pecked by birds, chewed by animals, or even run over by a car.
