What's It About?
Toddlers tap cartoon pictures on a grid of basic cultural items in six categories including animals, vehicles, musical instruments, and household objects. A photo image slides from the right with an accompanying sound clip. Kids just tap the picture to return to the menu. Each cartoon has about five real-life photos, and the violin photo plays a goodly portion of a classical symphony movement.
Is It Any Good?
With more than 250 tappable photographs and audio clips across six categories, SOUND TOUCH introduces kids to a wide variety of sights and sounds from common household objects to exotic animals and birds. There are four different photos and sounds associated with each object for added variety.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Reinforce naming and vocabulary skills by saying the name of each object for your kids. Encourage them to repeat the name.
Help your kids experience the objects and their sounds in real life. Take them to a farm or nearby petting zoo, if possible. Or listen to traffic sounds from a safe vantage point.
