Question: What do you get when Stanford education experts collaborate with award-winning storytellers and animators? Answer: Leo’s Pad – an interactive series of “appisodes” designed for preschoolers. The first story in this series was released in December. Kids join 8-year-old Leonardo daVinci and Galileo on an aesthetically appealing adventure called Gally’s Birthday. Interactive games that teach shapes, colors, number sense, drawing, letter identification, etc. are seamlessly woven into the story. They include a mixture of exploratory, creative, and problem-solving activities. Songs are also included which adds to the app’s Pixar-movie-like feel. Coming soon is a For Grown-ups section designed to give parents details about their children’s progress. Love this app for so many reasons – great story, beautiful animations, meaningful interaction, positive messages, catchy songs, age-appropriate skills, the list goes on…. Previews of “appisodes” 2 & 3 are available through this app.

Highly recommended!
