From the creators of the highly acclaimed iPad app Drawing Pad, comes ShapeBuilder. This educational and entertaining app introduces your little ones to easy-to-move shapes that fit perfectly into silhouette puzzles. With each puzzle containing 5 to 10 pieces, children can position them to reveal a real image. A professional voice recording by a licensed speech therapist specializing in early child development accompanies each completed puzzle to pronounce the word. ShapeBuilder not only encourages cognitive thinking and fine motor skills but also exposes young minds to various music instruments, animals, produce, objects, and alphabets in a fun and engaging format filled with captivating sound effects.

Designed specifically with kids in mind, the puzzles have no distracting menu buttons to interfere with gameplay.

Highlights of ShapeBuilder:

  • A grand total of 173 puzzles!
  • 30 music instruments with corresponding sound effects
  • 21 fruits and vegetables
  • 45 animals with awesome sound effects
  • 26 letters - each pronounced by a speech therapist in a fun way
  • 20 numbers from one through twenty
  • 31 other interesting items including Firetruck, Police Officer, Garbage Truck, and Volcano

The random play mode conveniently resets after all the puzzles have been completed. This keeps children entertained as they eagerly anticipate what the next puzzle will be.

Brought to you by Darren Murtha and Chris Lott for kids and toddlers in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade!

This app is ideal for kids aged 3 to 6 years old; although many 2-year-olds have also enjoyed playing it, they may require some assistance initially. It is perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, first-graders, and babysitters.

In recognition of its excellence, ShapeBuilder was previously featured as an Apple Staff Favorite in July 2009-2010 and named an iTunes App Store Essential for Toddlers in October. It has also been featured in renowned publications and websites including Macworld's "App of the Day," The Washington Times, USA Today, the San Francisco Chronicle, O'Reilly's book "Best iPhone Apps," and was an app that triumphed over "Wheels on the Bus" in O'Reilly's APP SMACKDOWN.

Reviews:

"ShapeBuilder earns an edu.Mac.nation daddy score of 'A.' Immediately, my son was able to locate and move the pieces into position. The audio quality is fantastic, the application is stable, and the variety of puzzle types kept my son engaged and entertained. Together we worked on completing the puzzles and saying out loud what the images were." - Michael (an elementary school teacher) from www.edumacnation.com
