Puzzles
Puzzles help children in developing their logical and observational capabilities through fun and enjoyment. Such puzzles as, for example, matching the pairs, sharpen children's power of accurately comparing and contrasting two apparently dissimilar objects that have much in common. Simply by clicking on smiling cartoons, children are exposed to different objects and once a proper pairing is struck the child is rewarded with a bright star. The child comes to know about different shapes, colors and objects, all the while enjoying the experience.
Coloring Pages
These provide children the fun of seeing colors spring to life from black and white pages simply when a wet paintbrush is passed over cartoon figures printed on those pages. Not only do children enjoy the fun of creation but they also start to learn that the sky is blue and teddy bear is brown. So these pages serve the twin purposes of allowing children to gain more dexterity while mastering the basics about their surroundings and nature.
Exploring Isa's Garden
This is another variant of the coloring game where a child enjoys learning the colors and shapes of fruit and flowers as he is led through an interactive video garden. Here the child has to help Dora locate Isa hidden in this colorful garden that is buzzing with flowers and butterflies. Once the child is able to locate Isa, the screen bursts into a color riot of applause and congratulations.
Save a Baby Dinosaur
This game helps with the cognitive development of a child and also boosts a child's capabilities to read, write and comprehend. It also helps in improving hand-eye coordination of children while enhancing their power to understand meanings of words and their ability to correctly anticipate the logical conclusion of an event after responding to visual and auditory stimuli. Thus, children develop their logical sense and perform well when faced with real life situations involving choice between competing alternatives.
