FREE for a limited time – ABC Food. This educational app introduces your toddler (3 – 5) to over 70+ food words through sight, sound, and touch. The app opens to a grid arranged in ABC order. Kids can tap on a letter to find foods that begin with that letter or they can tap on a specific food to learn about it. As the food’s photo appears, a child’s voice says the initial letter then reads the name of the food (which appears in writing at the bottom of the screen). A little cartoon person drops down on the left hand side of the screen with a link to a video clip or an interactive scene. The child can scroll to the left for additional pictures and videos about each food. The app also contains “Read To Me” Fun Facts about each food word featured. Explore the world of food from apples to zucchini with this educational app.
This app needs an internet connection to work because the 100+ videos are actually links from You Tube. They are chosen by Peapod Labs and checked to be interesting and safe for kids. Kids cannot link from this app into other You Tube content. This app is nicely done – great for building vocabulary and beginning to read/spell words.
Also check out my reviews of ABC Wildlife, ABC House, ABC Music, and ABC Aquarium by the same developers.
