ABC Gurus

What it is and what you do with it: a set of animated alphabet flashcards for alphabet learning/practice (lowercase and uppercase).

Make your own letter creatures using actual letter's outline as a stencil and a variety of colors and accessories (mouths, eyes, hats, stickers).

After your letter is complete you can watch a short animation with a theme related to the letter (e.g. A is for Alligator, P is for Pirate, S is for Snow etc) then you can take a picture of your creation and save it to the camera roll on the device.

What we liked: the concept. Fun illustrations and animations. App covers both letter names and letter sounds. Ease of use. No ads or other distracting features.
