What's It About?

The star of Monkey Preschool Lunchbox is a silly monkey who presents a series of activities to kids, including a memory game, puzzle, and comparison game. He celebrates when they get a correct answer and shakes his head when they don't. The game simply cycles through these activities, stopping every now and then to reward kids with a virtual sticker.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say ( 4 ):
Kids say ( 1 ):

MONKEY PRESCHOOL LUNCHBOX is an engaging app for toddlers and preschoolers. It teaches and reinforces very basic skills (counting, matching, find the difference, etc) in a fun way and has enough variation to keep things interesting. The activities are presented randomly, which does not allow a parent to select the activities that would be best for their child. The music can become tedious after a few rounds, but that's more likely to bother Mom and Dad than the kids. The only thing missing is an obvious end point in the game, which continues to cycle through indefinitely.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Help preschoolers practice counting objects around the house. When possible, make the counting purposeful -- how many forks you'll need for dinner is one idea.

  • Help reinforce basic colors by planning a "green day" or "yellow day," for example. Kids can wear the color, eat food that color, and look for the color in their environment.

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
