Can a classroom be fun to explore? This one is, especially when there's a zany Grandma as the the teacher.

A dozen no-fail school-themed activities and 13 videos are waiting in Grandma's Preschool, where just about anything you touch does something school-related. The activities are well designed to playfully reinforce early math and reading skills. Activities include moving train cars to match colors to words, fingerpainting, match stuffed animals to napping children, planting and watering seeds, match numerals with number words and pass out snacks. None are very deep; and children are never trapped. But all are well designed to insure a successful first experience of short high frequency words, color words, seasons, shapes, letters and letter sounds and spatial relations. Multi-touch is supported, so more than one child can play at once, and many of the toys in the preschool respond to touch. For a young child headed to preschool, or interested in school-related themes, this is a safe download.

This is the fifth in the "Grandma" series of apps from Fairlady Media. All are well designed. See also Grandma's Garden, Grandpa's Workshop, Grandma’s Kitchen, Grandma Loves Bugs and Grandpa In Space.
