Stop and Go! teaches toddlers and preschoolers about different kinds of cars and trucks. They can operate a stoplight, or touch the cars to make them stop and go, learning more about each along the way. Watch your kids be more curious about cars on the road after playing Stop and Go!
This free version of the beautifully illustrated app comes with 3 different vehicles, each with a custom animation.
Theres also a second layer of interactivity that lets kids explore the environment:
• Make it day or night by making the sun set and moon rise. See the cars by day, dusk, night and dawn.
• Make it rain.
• Turn the house lights off and on.
• Make the fire hydrant spew water.
• (and more!)
Enjoy the free version, or upgrade to the full version for $0.99, which comes with 12 vehicles and a Spanish version.
The app was designed with child development milestones in mind, and has a toddler friendly interface that lets kids navigate on their own while learning new vocabulary. You can change the language to English or Spanish in the settings menu.
Justin Goldwater, the illustrator for Stop and Go! has exhibited his art across the US and internationally, both solo and with the Austin based art collective Okay Mountain. Learn more about Justin, the app, and Shortstack on www.shortstackapps.com.
