Little M aged 4 years old particularly likes the Action game in which you get to choose the right vehicle to finish the job. The app is aimed at 1-5 year old children but I think it is too difficult for younger children. Also I found the instructions are not repeated so a few times I had to read out the instructions to Little M when he missed them, which can be a little frustrating for us both.I was impressed with the dot to dot activity, although probably too simple for a five year old it is a great introduction to numbers with a lovely picture reward at the end.

Loading is fast which is always a bonus with young children and the graphics are good. For construction vehicle mad boys and girls this app will be a joy to them and the app is also packed with various activities to keep children amused for quite a while.

I think for £1.99 it is very good value.
