“The great thing about these apps is they don’t stop you learning from the way you are taught in school. They
just add to it and help you practice what you are learning on an ipad. As a Montessori teacher I was at first
worried that Mrs Judd’s Games would encourage you to use the computer more, from an even earlier age. But
Mrs Judd has taught young children for 25 years in a school in the U.S.A. She has designed the games so
that you are encouraged to do the games in the traditional way and not just on the computer.”

“My favorite thing about Left Right Pup, an educational app aimed at children learning Left and Right, is the collage style artwork made with textural cork, vinyl, terry cloth, tempura and stitchery. It is splendid! The textures and colors bring the scenes to life, giving you this strong urge to reach out and touch it. Add in all sorts of sounds and energetic music, you find yourself quickly engaged.”

“Visually, the combination of styles is interesting. The characters are rendered in 3D, the items are in 2D illustrations, while the backgrounds are done in a collage style animation or textured materials. This gives the app a distinct look and feel.
The main purpose of the app is to teach about left and right directionality and it does it well. The characters, when not moving left or right, have their backs to the user. This makes sure that the character’s orientation is the same as the user so as to avoid confusion. When you choose either left or right, the characters also raise either their left or right arms. This small detail serves to further reinforce the concepts of left and right.”
