Abby Monkey is back, and this time she's brought her magic laptop! For those unfamiliar with Abby Monkey, she is a cute, friendly character that young children really love. This app is very much geared toward preschool learning, as it covers the basics (shapes, colors, numbers, common objects, etc.).
I use a lot of 22Learn apps as I work as a tutor and babysitter, and I recently purchased the Abby Monkey Magic Laptop for Preschool app as an activity for my young niece who I babysit. She will be starting preschool this upcoming year, and I thought this was just perfect for some educational playtime. The app reminds me of one of those talking phone toys most young children have, and even the youngest kids like to feel like they have their own 'technology'. The app is basically a board of buttons that children can press to their heart's content and learn from voice commands in the process.
The top half of the 'laptop' features a menu board of topics. Farm animals, toys, colors, zoo animals, vehicles, instruments, numbers 1-10 and then 11-20, alphabet, fruits, vegetables, and shapes are included. This is a pretty nice spread that seems to align well with what preschool children learn about in school. The top half also includes the ability to switch between the two functions- play mode and learning mode. A 'screen' area in the center displays information and pictures when the buttons are tapped.
The bottom half features all the objects in each category. For example, if you select colors, each of the 10 buttons will represent a different color. Pressing a button causes the app to say the name of the object, display an image of it, and play a related sound if possible (dogs will bark, trucks will go vroom, and colors will make various musical sounds). There are also buttons that say 'hello' and 'goodbye' in different tones and ways while displaying various faces. Other buttons play sounds and music. Images are full-color and beautifully illustrated, and the app features professional voiceovers which is a nice touch.
During play mode, users can simply tap around the app to learn the names of the objects and see pictures representing them. In learning mode, the app will ask users to find a specific object. Correct answers are rewarded with verbal praise, and incorrect answers will prompt the app to provide hints. Overall, I think it's a great app for kids, my niece loved it, and it includes every topic you could want covered in a basic learning app. It is definitely an app that needs to be enjoyed with the sound on, so it may not be great for on-the-go entertainment or when quiet is desired. Most children will enjoy pressing the many buttons and learning about their favorite things.
