We received a download code for the new Tiggly app, Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen so that we could try out the app and review it. Opinions are 100% our own.
Andrew has grown up with the Tiggly apps. We started with Tiggly shapes and then moved on to Tiggly Counts and now he’s been using Tiggly Words. When I learned about the new Tiggly app where Tiggly has partnered with Sesame Street to put out a new app called Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen I knew that we had to check it out. So, I asked for a download code and Andrew has been playing this game a lot.
The game is really very simple. Cookie monster gives the child two to three letters and there is a space for a single letter. Children can place the Tiggly letters into that space and either create a word and thus make a cookie or be told that what they made was not a word. If a word is made then the children can add colors and stir the cookie mixture until a new cookie is made. Based upon how much of each color they use will determine how the cookie itself looks. Then once the child created four cookies then they can either share them with cookie monster or eat them themselves. Andrew enjoys making cookie after cookie and learning new words. It makes it fun because Cookie Monster is encouraging and funny. Continue reading App Alert Review: Tiggly Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen →
We’ve been fans of Tiggly since before they launched. We’ve reviewed all of the products and apps that have come before. We received a copy of Tiggly Words to play with and review. Opinions of this new app and toy are 100% our own. We have used Tiggly almost exclusively with Andrew. Those very first games had Andrew identifying his shapes and colors within the span of 30 minutes. With Tiggly Counts Andrew was excited about counting and he’s counting to 100 all the time, especially at the supermarket. Now with Tiggly Words we are beginning to start early reading with Andrew.
A significant improvement with the Tiggly apps happened with Tiggly Words. The toys work perfectly on iPads that use screen protectors. We’ve had no problems at all with the game recognizing the letters that Andrew choses while playing. Andrew started off playing the Tiggly Submarine app. That is the words related app that he likes the most. The game kept him occupied and engaged for an hour right out of the box. The next day I came home from work and my wife asked Andrew to spell his favorite word. It is HUG. I picked him up and told him that I would make his favorite word bigger and add an “e” to it to make it huge, and I gave him a huge hug.
Andrew has been using Tiggly Words for a few days now and it is working well for him. He’s noticing words more and he is spelling them for us. Tiggly Submarine is still his favorite but he also enjoys Tiggly Tales. When Tiggly Doctor comes out later this week (June 11th) he’ll try that as well. Each game comes free with the purchase of Tiggly Words. Now Tiggly can be found at Target stores in the us and Best Buy stores in Canada. You can learn more about that in the press release below.
