Halloween Puzzles for Kids and Toddlers app review: get into the spirit of Halloween

Introduction

Kids can get into the spirit and fun of Halloween thanks to the Halloween Puzzles for Kids and Toddlers app, which provides them with a number of puzzles that can be customized to meet their own level of challenge. While the puzzles are all Halloween themed they aren't scary so even young toddlers will enjoy them.

A Selection of Free Puzzles

When you launch the app you'll find that you are given one level for free which contains five fun puzzles. Each of these puzzles can then be customized so you choose how many pieces you need to fit together. Obviously the younger the child, the less pieces you'll want so it's easier to solve.

In order to place the pieces in the correct spot just drag them with your finger. Tap on the piece to rotate it until it is in the right position and then drop it into place. Another feature is the fact that the puzzle board has the image shaded on it so that kids get an idea of where to place the pieces. For an extra challenge you can turn the shaded image off. This is called the hint feature.

While you’re putting the puzzle together you’re treated to some “scary” fun Halloween sounds and music to help set the tone.

 

Going The Extra Mile

The sound effects and music certainly help to set the scene as do the images in the puzzles. Each of the puzzles contains a fun Halloween scene that is bright, colorful, and plenty of fun. So besides fun what else does this app offer for kids? Well, it helps them with a number of skills including building their memory, problem solving skills, logical thinking, concentration levels, and cognitive skills. There is just something about puzzles that draws kids in immediately and manages to keep their attention.

At any time kids can return to the main menu and pick another puzzle or change the amount of puzzle pieces therefore changing the level of difficulty.

Because this app is so kid-friendly you’ll find that kids can play it on their own just fine and can even find their way back to the main menu without issues.

If you decide to purchase the full version of the app you'll get 20 puzzles in total that range from four pieces to 25 pieces. As well there is a mini-game at the end of the game which allows kids to pop the balloons. The full version is available for $1.99.
