VivaKids’ ABC is one of the most creative and artistic made-for-kids apps that I’ve seen (and played with) on the iPad. Toddlers and pre-kindergartners will be sure to love learning the alphabet through this incredibly “organic” app. It combines art and design with mesmerizing music, stop-motion video, animation and photography.
Ulrike Kerber, the creative director of VivaKids.tv, developed this concept because she was dissatisfied with much of the “cheesy, flat and digital looking” media that young children are often exposed to. She wanted children to learn in a fun, playful, and loving way. This app provides the wit and charm for kids and adults, as it brings the alphabet to life with dazzling displays of imagination and creativity. Even though the app is viewed on a two-dimensional surface, the animations and images pop out with have their vibrant color, shape, and texture.
As children swipe through the alphabet and touch a letter, they are able to view artistically captivating video clips associated with that letter and a corresponding word or words. It has a Sesame Street style to it, presenting and teaching each letter in a very fun and creative way. When children “click” on the palette icon, they are able to “paint,” trace, and fill in each letter with their fingers or a stylus (if you have one).
A few minutes of play, and it just boggled my mind how much time, thought, and creativity must have gone into the development of this app. VivaKids’ ABC will be sure to bring out the artist in your little ones, and thoroughly impress the alphabet on their imaginative minds.
