Thinkrolls Play & Code

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Thinkrolls Play & Code is an educational app that's part of the Thinkrolls app series. The app offers a collection of logic puzzles, brain games, and introduces little kids to some elements of coding logic, though there's no actual programming. Kids can tap on the Help Monster for hints and guidance on how to play. Parents have the option of turning off the Help Monster all together to push problem-solving and trial and error. Kids can choose from basic, easy, or hard logic puzzles and the adaptive brain games get progressively more difficult as little ones demonstrate success. This feature makes the app inviting and will keep kids engaged as their ability level grows. In addition to problem-solving, the experience also fosters logic, strategic planning, innovation, and memory. It also encourages important habits of mind, including patience, grit, flexibility, and confidence. Parents can set up accounts for up to six different players. The free version grants access to a limited portion of the app, and the locked features are visible to kids. They're also necessary to create more complex puzzles.
