With a two year old and a four year old we are always working on learning letters and numbers and all the wonderful things in the world around us. I was very excited to give the Tiggly Counts a try to see if they truly helped my daughter with counting and adding numbers together.
About Tiggly Counts:
Tiggly is a New York-based company that develops interactive toys and apps for the digital generation. Toddlers and preschoolers love the iPad as much as Mom and Dad, but 70 years of academic research has demonstrated that manipulating physical objects is essential to early childhood development. Tiggly enables parents to bring this critical component of early learning to the “digital sandbox” today’s kids inhabit.
Their debut product, Tiggly Shapes, was designed by educators specializing in early childhood development and tested by parents and toddlers at homes and in preschools. Their second product, Tiggly Counts, is an award-winning math learning toy for ages 3-6.
Their products are fun for all ages, but specifically intended to help children between 18 months and 6 years old develop spatial reasoning, motor skills, language, and creativity.
About the Apps:
Tiggly Cardtoons – You can now count, drag, match, and enjoys as the simple buttons that you create come alive in a wildly imaginative story. Shuffle the basic pieces of digital cardboard and watch as they become one bluefish with a fancy bowtie, two peanuts for a hungry elephant, tree candles for a cow’s birthday cake, etc. Tiggly Cardtoons will help you learn basic math ideas such as one-to-one matching, counting, and equal sets.
Tiggly Addventure – Count up, count down, count all, and count on! You can now stretch your number sense as you travel along the number line in Tiggly Addventure. Tiggly Addventure introduces children to number-line concepts while helping improve their number sense and counting skills.
Tiggly Chef – Your child can earn early addition concepts and think flexibly about numbers while helping Chef prepare his signature Spicy Hula Monkey Cake, as well as over 40 other outrageous dishes. You can even suggest your own recipes to Chef. Whil the ingredients are added, mathematics symbols appear on screen explaining your actions, helping you naturally learn numbers and early addition concepts. Tiggly Brain Child 2014 Award – Winning App.
My Thoughts:
I was definitely impressed with Tiggly Counts. My daughter loved taking time playing with all 3 of the apps that are available. We have spent a great deal of time playing with both of the apps. I have let both my 2 year old as well as my 4 year old spend time playing with the apps and seeing how they used them and if they could figure them out completely on their own.
My daughters both learned how to play each of the games on their own. My youngest loves to cook with me in the kitchen so her favorite app was the Tiggly Chef. My oldest couldn’t pick a favorite as she spent time playing with each of them. She informed me that she couldn’t really have a favorite because she gets to do something different in each of the apps. 🙂
