This post is sponsored by KidloLand. I received product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
Early Education has changed so much over the years! When I was a young child I learned the basics from workbooks, Sesame Street and good old fridge magnets. These days, electronics play a big role in early learning.
There are a LOT of apps available that are geared toward young children. Some are great but some... not so much. It's difficult to know which app to choose! As a mom of a child who just started preschool AND has special needs I am constantly trying to find ways to boost his learning.
Recently I was introduced to an amazing app called KidloLand! KidloLand is an interactive learning app for children in the 0-5 age range. It is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers (my young Kindergartener even loves it)! This app includes over 700 nursery rhymes, educational games, songs and phonics.
The KidloLand app covers it all! The wide variety of interactive activities, games, stories and songs encourage children to learn their ABC's, 123's, animals, shapes, colors, months, days of the week, seasons, beginning letter sounds and more. After using this app for a week I ended up deleting most of the apps I previously downloaded for Liam. There's truly no need for them!
Liam never showed any interest in electronics prior to being introduced to the KidloLand app. I downloaded all the apps that were recommended and still didn't have any luck. There was one BIG factor missing from all those apps: music. The KidloLand app has plenty of that and Liam LOVES it! (Notice the Itsy Bitsy Spider moves?)
Thanks to the KidloLand app, Liam's early learning skills are being boosted through fun learning songs, games and activities. This app is the first one to keep his attention and he's actually singing along and learning new words. For a child who is delayed in speech that is a HUGE benefit!
I truly can't say enough good things about this fun learning app but if you're not convinced yet, here's a sneak peek at all the interactive activities it has to offer:
KidloLand offers 20 categories full of fun learning songs, stories, games and activities!
Nursery Rhymes
The Nursery Rhymes category was a hit with toddler! It contains almost every nursery rhyme you can think of. Liam's current favorite nursery rhyme is Itsy Bitsy Spider so he played it over and over again while acting it out!
Stories
The Stories category is a very expansive. It contains sub-categories which include Fables, Early Reading, Animals and Bedtime. When a story is chosen you are given the option to have it read to you or to read it by yourself.
Phonics
My 5 year old actually uses this category. She loves to review her letter sounds through these fun phonics songs for each letter of the alphabet!
ABCD Songs
This is a great category for my 3 year old. Each letter is accompanied by a fun song that helps teach letter recognition and beginning letter sounds!
Games
This category includes a wide variety of games geared toward the younger crowd. Liam loves Pop the Numbers, First Words Coloring, Musical Petals and Train Adventures!
Activities
This is another fun category! The activities are organized by theme such as Farm, City, Marine, Space, Vehicles and more. Each theme includes a wide variety of activities. The Farm activities were Liam's favorite!
Create & Play Occupations
This category contains so many occupations. The first step is matching pictures to their shadows to create the scene. After the scene is complete it "comes to life" to teach the child about the profession.
Wheels On The Bus, Weather & Seasons, Dinos, Row Your Boat, Numbers and Lullabies
Each of these categories is filled with catchy songs! Liam, who has special needs, is very much in tune with music. He loved the Wheels on the Bus, Row Your Boat and Lullabies Categories. The Weather & Seasons, Dinos and Numbers categories were also hits with their fun learning songs!
Christmas Songs
I loved the fact that the KidloLand app includes seasonal songs. This was the first category that Lily noticed and she started singing along to the Christmas Songs and Christmas Carols right away!
Vehicles, Old MacDonald Songs, Months & Days, Colors & Shapes, Animals and Fruits & Vegetables
These six categories contain fun learning songs! Learning about animals, months and days, colors and shapes, and fruits and vegetables is so much more fun when there's a song to go with it! Who would have ever thought that there would be songs about all the different types of fruits and vegetables?!?
The KidloLand App was a HIT with Liam! It is, without a doubt, the most used app on our iPad right now!
