This app for FREE for a limited time for iPad. Tickle, the monster, is a very hungry guy! Toddlers (3+) feed him sweets by matching candies, cakes, pastries, etc. Sometimes the objects are rotated, sometimes only 1/2 of the object is shown, sometimes only the object’s shape is shown. This app requires kids to recognize shapes, colors, and sizes which helps them develop the essential skill of visual perception. The game has 4 modes and it increases in difficulty as kids progress. They are to work as quickly as possible with the goal of making 100 correct matches before the timer runs out. My only concern with this app is what Tickle is eating – all sweets. Other than that, it is a cute app – great graphics, catchy music, intuitive, and easy to play!
