Tiggly math is inspired by the Cuisenaire rods that have been used by educators to explain basic math concepts for many years, especially in Montessori schools. This is a really engaging, fun toy for pre-schoolers and young kids who are just starting to learn about building words, as well as older kids who would benefit from a fun way to improve their spelling. The letters can also be used with another 3 apps: Tiggly Doctor to learn about long and short vowel sounds, Tiggly Submarine where you move a submarine around under the sea and learn about spelling patterns, and Tiggly Tales, which is a word building game. For example the app might display a ‘b’ and ‘g’ and when the child places the ‘u’ letter piece on the tablet, the word “bug” is spelled and a picture of a bug appears on the screen.
The app teaches children to spell in a really intuitive and rewarding way.
TIGGLY WORDS APP ANDROID
Tiggly words is a set of tactile soft foam vowel letters that work together with the Tiggly Words app for iPad, iPad mini, Kindle HD and other leading Android tablets.Ĭhildren can learn to spell words by placing the letters on top of the tablet to create words displayed within the app and learn about language including short and long vowel sounds, phonics, nouns and verbs and word building. It’s difficult to explain without demonstrating an example so just have a look through some of the Tiggly products and watch the videos to get an idea of just how amazing these toys are: Tiggly Words Interactive Learning Toy See price and reviews They are physical tangible toys that can be played with just like any other toy but they use the clever programming and capabilities of the iPad to really enhance the play and turn it into a true interactive experience. This is why toys like Tiggly are such a genius idea. My children have learned new songs and stories, practiced writing letters, learned about shapes and gained a whole load of new skills from playing on their tablet but I still can’t help but feel guilty that they’re interacting with a screen instead of playing with real toys. There is a school of thought that believes that children should not have access to electronic devices at all and it’s certainly wise to limit screen time in young children, but it’s also impossible to deny how much children love playing educational apps and how much they can learn from doing so.
Our kids are the first generation to be growing up with smart phones, iPads and other tablets and it’s not clear yet the impact this will have on their future brain development and education. We’re starting to see a lot more of these toys that bridge the gap between the screen and physical play so this is definitely a company to keep an eye on. Tiggly produces a range of educational gaming accessories for the iPad and leading Android tablets that help to bring apps into the physical world.
