The Kiddo

Some kids naturally play with their toys. Then there is my kid. He has ADHD. Focusing is not easy for him and neither is, what would be for other children, a small level frustration. Apps for our iPhone and iPad have been great tools for him (and us) to engage him in ways that he doesn't always get from traditional toys.

Hungry Fish


I haven't been impressed with most math apps because they just seem so uninspired. Really? do a few additions and get a sticker? I know my kid won't bother...

Then yesterday a mom told me about Hungry Fish and it is a winner for my easy to get bored kid... It is very addictive and feeding the fish to make him bigger must do something to his endorphins, he can't get enough of it.

Just combine numbered bubbles to match the number on your fish! Feed it to him and he will grow... On the way you can customize your fish.

What impressed me most is that the difficulty can be adjusted AND it goes on to subtraction, multiplication and division.

It's a keeper

Monster Box


Fun Fun Fun.

Monsters pop out of box... starting with a few... slowly increasing...

Quickly determine which one doesn't belong, pop it!

Great for scanning and gets a little harder as you go....

Good focuse because it timed....

Numbers League


All time favorite for my kiddo...

This is what apps should do... make math fun, not drill...

and heros! and jail! and cards!

What's not to love... addition and keeps on going...


Here is your link

Geared


Right brain fun, just keep those wheels spinning (brain and the gears). No need to read, so intuitive... and if you don't get it dropped in perfectly, it's ok (so fine motor is used but not frustrating)

Hints if you get stuck... Great for all ages...
