Bugs and Buttons This app goes beyond simply great graphics and beautiful music by engaging children through intriguing game play that progressively adapts to their skill level! Designed to be self paced, each activity offers simple visual instructions that work with your child. With two play modes, children can choose to be automatically guided or freely explore and play. The app has 18 games and activities, fun, interesting and beautiful music, 40 achievement stamps to earn or find, plus adaptive play provides a challenge that will not cause frustration. This app is extremely engaging and will cause many giggles, but at the same time your child will be learning very important skills, like fine motor skills, patterns, tracking, sorting, path finding, and more! This app is so engaging that children will not even notice how many skills they are gaining!

My students love this app. The graphics alone make it totally worth the price. The kids don't realize they are learning. I especially love the sorting activities, so much more fun than the way I'd taught this skill in the past. Several of my students will choose this app during free choice time when they could have chosen any app. Grossed out one of our substitutes though, the only reason you wouldn't love this app is if you hate bugs.

Bugs and Buttons is a wonderfully inventive app! There are an enormous amount of games within the app and each focuses on fundamental and rudimentary skills, such as: fine motor manipulation, rote memory, hand-eye coordination, pairing, and sequencing (just to name a few). Each game will keep children engaged and returning to play again and again. I consider this a must have app and feel it is well worth the cost!
