This week, young explorers can learn all about the science of light and color with the latest app from Tinybop. Plus, even younger explorers can open boxes full of delightful surprises with Boxapopa.
Light and Color
by Tinybop
Light and Color lets kids explore the colors around them, how light mixes and refracts, and even how other animals perceive color. Explore is a key word, as like other Tinybop apps there are no guided lessons – kids simply pick a topic and play with it. Kids can mix light, view how light rays bounce off of objects or change direction with lenses, point the camera at objects around them to collect colors, mix paints, make rainbows, learn about color systems and more. Naturally the production values rival the best apps for kids, and the app is recommended for kids curious about the world around them.
Boxapopa
by Toraiocht Studios
Boxapopa is a playful and eclectic app for toddlers. Kids tap on a box and something appears on screen that they can interact with. That something can range from numbers and letters, to balloons. to spaceships, to animals, and, well, just about anything. Kids can keep tapping the box to get new surprises, and there are enough boxes to keep them entertained for quite a while. 50 boxes are available for free, with an additional 50 boxes added with an in-app purchase.
