PLAY-DOH Create ABCs

What is it and what do you do with it: a set of activities for alphabet/tracing practice:

Write and Craft - trace the letters of the alphabet using virtual Play-Doh. After you complete each letter you can play with a customizable Play-Doh character representing this letter.

Create and Share - create virtual animated Play-Doh scenes.

Letter Matching - match the letters of the alphabet with the Play-Doh creations.

What we liked: the concept. Excellent set of features and options. Lots of fun details complementing main activities (short rhymes illustrating each letter, simple animations, the option to customize Play-Doh characters etc.). Ease of use (including spoken instructions and tutorials). Very good educational value. No distracting elements. Multiple user accounts with progress reports. Overall quality of the app.

What we didn't like: the tracing activity leaves a bit to be desired (no verification if a letter was traced properly, no easy way to repeat and practice a single letter).
