Kid’s Academy is all about helping children learn verbal, writing and math skills in an easy and fun manner. Which is why I’m such a big fan of theirs. I mean, I do love “unplugged play” – like with our Lilliputiens Sensory Toys. But, I’m also a huge lover of technology, and love the way cool apps and programs can get kids totally engaged in learning – especially on the go! Apps such as 123 Tracing and Bingo ABC have been top-50 educational apps in the App Store, and Kid’s Academy has also brought the well-known stories and nursery rhymes The Three Little Pigs and Five Little Monkeys to life with interactive apps. Keep reading to learn more about Kid’s Academy, and why it rocks….
The simple interfaces of the Kids Academy apps allow children to take the reins and play all on their own, but the sing-a-longs and other activities are perfect for parent or teacher engagement as well. Research has shown that singing along with nursery rhymes has cognitive and physical benefits for children. Not only are children learning new words and the context in which to use them, but strengthening tongue and mouth muscles at an early age will help with pronunciation skills. My nephew who is autistic learns SO much better when things are in a rhyme or song – and my little girl, Abby, who just turned 4, is totally engaged when things are set to music. So this is so perfect for us!
Kids Academy is hosting an awesome giveaway! Head over, download the app, and write a review in the App Store. At the end of August, Kids Academy will randomly choose 2 lucky winners who will each win a $100 Amazon gift card! Sweet, right?
