All beginnings are difficult - but not with the Preschoolers ABC Playground. Here, the 26 letters of the alphabet are brought to life in a fantastic way. The six educationally valuable learning exercises are presented in seven different languages and at different levels of difficulty. This provides meaningful support for english lessons at school. The learning app makes preschoolers want to read and write and comes across as charming and playful as usual.

LEARNING THE ALPHABET WITH CUTE ANIMALS
Lovingly drawn and colorfully illustrated animals will help children to learn their letters, which can be read as phonics either as a letter name. Whether alligator, bear, cat or zebra - the fun representatives from the animal kingdom help both boys and girls to play & learn. They learn to recognize upper and lower case letters, to write them or unscramble letters to spell animal names

LEARNING TO WRITE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Preschoolers ABC Playground is not just about learning the alphabet. The app also trains writing in a playful way. Children learn the hand movements using animated flashcards. For this purpose, the letters are traced with the finger or a soft pen and learned automatically in this way. First writing attempts can be saved in the photo album.

NUMBERS FROM 1 - 10
By popular request from teachers and parents, we have added an additional section with the numbers 1 - 10. In this section, as with the letters, the first 10 numbers can now be practiced.

There are also 6 exercises analogous to the already known letter tasks:
- Tracing the numbers from 1 - 10
- An overview of these numbers
- The order of the numbers
- What fits?
- Matching the numbers
- A memo game
