General Observations About Kids Apps
"There are lot of kids apps on the market already. In fact, there are so many, it takes some effort to find the best ones. There seems to be an endless amount of pair matching games and puzzles but not that many kids apps with original ideas. Most kids apps we’ve tested work pretty well with 3 year olds but there are some games types / mechanics that work better with older kids. I have noticed that slider puzzles, some spot the difference games, and tilting & shaking mechanics are a little too difficult for my daughter."Some of the best kids apps:
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Kids Song Machine
Yahoo! Kids
Jack and the Beanstalk Children’s Interactive Storybook
Treat Street HiDef
Park Math HD
Animal Hide & Seek Adventure
ColorPlay HD – Kids Animated Coloring Book
My first puzzles : Aliens HD
Grimm’s Rapunzel – 3D Interactive Pop-up Book
The best elements in these kids apps:
Stand out artwork
Pop- ups
2D and 3D elements
vibrant graphics
cute character factor
good sounds
educational value
entertainment
games element
choosing elements for the story
exciting touchable elements
catchy music
sing along/read along
unique visual style
The Old Bear Stories
This is the Old Bear story that I have chosen to base my design around. I think that the character would allow a good character development because bears can come in several shapes and forms and i also have lots of ideas for interactive elements. I would also make the user a part of the story, so insted of Old Bears friends going to find him it would be the user that looks for the bear. This would then allow for development of more apps to go in a series of adventures after the bear is found.
