Fruits and Veggies for Kids

Visual support helps a lot in learning sessions, more so when we are talking about toddlers. That is why learning cards are so appreciated by little ones and their parents. Having that in mind, the Fruits and Veggies for Kids application is designed to make learning fruits and vegetables much easier for small children.

Since it is addressed to toddlers of over 18 months, Fruits and Veggies for Kids launches in full screen mode only, so as to avoid creating distractions for its users.

Its main window displays colorful and large buttons for the four available categories, namely fruits, vegetables, nuts and berries. Yes, despite its name, the application also features learning cards for the two latter categories.

Clicking on a category opens the first learning card with realistic images and lively colors, which are usually very appealing to children. The application also pronounces the name of the object in the picture, loud and clear, in English. Unfortunately, there is no setting to change the language, although that would be very helpful.

There are over one hundred cards in total but if the parent considers the child is too small to learn so many denominations, then they can remove unnecessary photos and only keep the ones they want.

It is worth mentioning that users can toggle the autoplay mode, which plays a slideshow of all the photos in a category until the “Stop” button is pressed. In other words, there is no need for the parent to keep clicking buttons. Instead, they can focus on the child, ask questions and so on.

Since any teaching session ends with knowledge testing, the application comes with a quiz that shows four different photos on the screen, encouraging the child to choose the correct one as a name is pronounced.

Fruits and Veggies for Kids is part of a series of educational software that displays digital learning cards for small children, encouraging them to associate images with names. It’s a shame that the application is not translated in more languages but, overall, it serves as a good learning tool for home activities with toddlers.
