Light & Color by Tinybop

Parents need to know that Light & Color by Tinybop is an open-ended app that lets kids experiment and learn about the scientific principles behind light and color. It's number 12 in Tinybop Explorer's Library, which is a series of apps dedicated to offering science learning platforms. Like all the apps in the series, Light & Color by Tinybop is completely exploration based. There are no instructions, no rules, and no games to complete. Rather, kids take the lead in simply trying different things out to see what happens, such as moving the position of the sun during a rainstorm to see if they can create a rainbow. Kids will need to allow access to the device's camera to use the AR feature, which allows kids to find, identify, and catalog colors in their environment. Parents can set the app to one of over 40 languages. A learning guide gives lots of background scientific information, tips for playing and experimenting in the app, and discussion questions. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
