Giraffe's PreSchool Playground App Reviews

Having a degree in educational technology and having worked with Pre-K children for 5 years, I always approach pre-school software with a critical eye. That being said, this is a simple and intuitive program that will serve 3 functions. It will entertain children; it will engage the recall and relationship aspects of young minds (very important); it will provide an opportunity to interact with the child. From an educators point of view, I recommend that you play this game with children rather than just handing them the device to keep them quite. For example, let the child "teach" you how to play".

love this game! i use it a lot with my kids in speech therapy at work!

My daughter plays lots of diff apps but never for more than a couple minutes. Shell play this one for a half hour at a time. She can listen to the intro music for ten minutes straight.

Given the number of preschool apps I own, this was just "okay". I bought this one on the strength of Tomatointeractives matching game. Although there are six games in this bundle, they dont offer the same developmental level of challenge. Maybe Im reading too much into it. My daughter definitely has fun playing the games, but I would have probably passed on this one in favor of something that offered more of a developmental challenge. This would have been a smarter purchase before she had mastered her numbers and letters.

Great music, we all find ourselves humming it! My daughter has a lot of fun with this app. Lots of different things for her to look at. Keeps her amused in the car for a LONG time! Well worth it!

My daughter loves this game. Absolutely worth the price.

this game is eye catching and colorful. the makers clearly put effort into it. there is not-so-annoying music (a real find in childrens games) and my daughter enjoys playing it. however, i dont know if it will have staying power. it says it is for preschool but it is not challenging for my 3 yo even on the games where there is an advanced option. having said that, she has fun and when im distracting her with my phone im not expecting a learning experience. so id buy it again.

My 3 yr old daughter loves playing with this app. As a new app user, Im learning a lot of apps are sort of shoddy, but this is well made and very much worth the $.

I own a lot of games for my 2 year old son- and he really like this game. The animal matching isnt too challening to him but I love that the numbers go up to 20. It really entertains him while learning something!

I love how there is so much to do in this app. My 2 year old is continuing to learn because of all it has to offer. I especially like the 2 seperate levels for each activity that it has. Buy it. I recommend it.

Please add a cancel button to the save option in photo playground. My son always hits the save by accident and the only way out is to save the photo. Then I have to delete the photos in my photo album as a result... Pain in the arse.

My 2 year old daughter cant get enough of this game and also their other game, giraffes matching game. With this game, she can listen to the startup song for ten minutes straight-she even has a little dance that she does to it. There are six games with two different skill levels. She loves this game and it keeps her occupied.

My 3 yr old son loves this game.. It helped him learn the alphabet in about 2 days. Weve had it for about 3 months & he still wants to play it everyday.

My 3 year old loves this game. The picture, quality, and its educational!!! Well worth the money!

This is our new favorite app for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter! She LOVES it. It is a very smart way to teach letters and numbers. I was amazed that she already knew her letters and was able to play right from the beginning. She loves the tapping alphabet game too.

Very cute graphics and music and easy to navigate. My son isnt quite 2, but he can still play a little. Would appreciate an iPad version, too!

I got the free version of the hippo fun game and bought this from the ad-ons and my girls love this game very much as well as the song. However I would like to see added things such as letter fill in for spelling simple math problems a spelling list in order or a test on their knowledge of the order of the letters are supposed to be in. This is just a short list and Ive noticed other paid programs that offer such things but only that specific item such as addition or simple spelling or the alphabet. Id like to see an all in one program thats fun for the kids and affordable. Most expensive programs let people down without some kind of samples. Thanks.

my 4 yr old and 6 yr old love this game...

Thank you for creating such a wonderful application. We are using it to work with our non-verbal son who has autism. I love that the "clue" is shown first, and that you have a "REPEAT THE CLUE" button as well. The activities are great, the artwork cute and colorful. If I could ask for anything more - my only wish is that if somehow you could choose to select the item from a smaller sampling than a choice of 6. Example: Like a choice from 2,4, or 6 - depending on a childs skill level but overall this app. is amazing! Well done.

He walks around the house singing "uh,oh,uh,oh..". Thats his way of asking to play the game. He will play it until I make him stop. He would play it for goes if I let him.
