App Description

Every child loves to draw, they love the ability to express themselves and explore the colors that let them do this. That is the experience that coloring with playhouse provides. Your child will have the ability to chose between a number of coloring pages, or freestyle draw with a blank canvas. The easy to use interface will help your child easily make works of art. Coloring features eight crayons to chose from, three pen sizes as well as a button for saving a picture of the art to later share to social networks, family members, or email. When your child is finished becoming the next Picasso they can head over to FlashCards for a math lesson.
FlashCards contains three levels of difficulty that varies depending on the operation. Addition and Subtraction gets harder on each level by going from single digit problems to triple digit problems. Your child will have the opportunity to start low and work there way up the arithmetic chain these specific flash cards will help your little one develop their counting skills. Multiplication and division flash cards breaks down the levels into chunks of numbers. Level 1 contains the numbers 1-4, Level 2 contains 1-8, and Level 3 contains 1-12. A very important part of a child's learning career is there twelve times table so breaking down the memorization into smaller chunks allows them the ability to retain the information they are learning. FlashCards are relayed in 20 card segments and at the end there is a score report which includes accuracy,average time as well as an actual score. Scoring of the flash cards is 50 points for getting the question right on there first try and 10 points for every second under 10 it took them to answer the question. The scoring system of flashcards creates a goal objective as well as friendly competitive environment.
Hangman is an important part of every child's life. Hangman teaches spelling as well as memorization. Hangman is like a spelling test without the pressure on your child. Your child will begin by randomly guessing but soon they will begin to recognize the words and the letters that are missing, and as a result of this begin to demonstrate problem solving skills. Hangman contains 4 levels starting with four letter words and ending with 8 letter words. Your child will build there vocabulary little by little with our comprehensive list of words. If your child doesn't win a turn of hangman they are greeted with words of encouragement "Better luck next time" and a big smile from charlie so they feel as though they are allowed to make their mistakes creating a better experience for them and incentive to try again.
The entire app experience is guided by Charlie designed specifically to look inviting and give a more personal experience to the children. He greets the children as well as provides helpful hints to the more complicated portions of the app. The entire app was designed to be simplistic as well as colorful and vibrant to be visually pleasing to them.
