ShapeBuilder Preschool Puzzles 2.0

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.

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.

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.

"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
