Toddler iPhone App Review: Sir Roly Poly

Nov 17th

Geek Review:
Another fantastic iPhone (or iPod Touch) app from Wee Little Gamer. This app incorporates a simple to use interface, a great game and one of kids’ favorite things–roly polies. I also love it when apps include ways for grown-ups to enjoy the game, in this case having multiple levels. “Easy”, “Medium”, “Hard” for adults, “For Kids” for age 4 and under. It’s a great game to build problem solving skills.

Object:
Solve the puzzle to get Sir Roly Poly through the maze. It starts off easy and gets trickier as you go though. At age 3.25 Lady Bug loves the ‘For Kids’ level and with a little bit of instruction she was off and running moving the blocks and getting her roly poly to the star.
