Busy Shapes & Colors
Kids drag, match and sort their way through puzzles that name 11 shapes and 11 colors.
Busy Shapes & Colors comes from Edoki Academy, which describes it as Montessori-inspired, and the hands-on feel shows quickly. Kids drag shapes into matching holes and pair up colors, hearing each name spoken as they go. As levels open up, things appear to get sneakier: shapes start moving, vanishing or changing, so a child has to watch and experiment instead of simply matching. A penguin pops up to celebrate along the way. A practice mode lets a grown-up zero in on one shape or color a child is still working on. The Google Play listing mentions 150 levels across four modes, and multitouch means several fingers can play at once, which suits toddlers still getting the hang of a screen.
