Busy Shapes & Colors

What it is/what you do with it: a set of puzzles for younger kids (early preschool and up). Helps learn names of basic colors and shapes as well as improve fine motor skills and logical thinking.

Match the shapes with holes by shape or/and color (depending on the play mode). Start with simple setup (one shape one hole) then progress to more complex layouts (multiple shapes/colors, shapes start to move around the screen, special devices to change shape or color to match the hole).

11 shapes and 11 colors.

4 play modes: colors only, shapes only, colors and shape and 'focus'.

What we liked: the concept. 150 levels with increasing difficulty. Professional narration. Easy operation. Detailed progress reports. Multiple student accounts. Support for 15 languages.

What we didn't like: we wish there was more variety and features (as the 'color makers' that appear on higher levels). The rewards system is very basic (a bunch of very short animations).
