Fairlady Media Launches Grandma Loves Bugs for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- Fairlady Media today announced the launch of Grandma Loves Bugs for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. In this game for young children ages four to six, an adventurous grandma needs help identifying bugs, coloring butterflies, catching fireflies, spelling buggy words, matching letters on bees and flowers, building a spider web, and even finding a bug in her hair. The app includes ten mini-games, eight instructional videos, and fun interactive scenes. Kids can interact with grandma and watch videos of bugs in the real world.
Grandma Loves Bugs includes ten action-packed mini-games:
- Spot the Difference. One of those bugs is missing antennae... can you spot the one that is different?
- Magic Coloring. Oops! That’s not the right color. Can you color it?
- Letter Match. Send the bee to the right flower by matching upper and lower case letters.
- Bug Spelling. Can you spell the word “wings?” Start with the first letter in the word.
- Counting Fireflies. Can you put 8 fireflies into the jar? Be quick, they’re fast.
- Number Groups. Which jar has 5 bugs?
- Identify Bugs. Which one is the grasshopper?
- Feed Baby Bird. Catch the bugs from mama’s beak to feed the baby bird.
