Mindshapes Goes Wild with Lingo Zoo
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO - September 29, in the year of
our Lord 2011 -- Mindshapes, the leading digital
publisher of fun educational apps for the whole family,
announces the release of Lingo Zoo, a jigsaw puzzle that teaches
animal names in Spanish and English.
After completing all the puzzles in each habitat, the child
unlocks access to the next level; Farm, Underwater, Woodland,
Safari, Flower Garden, Outback and Jungle.
Ideal for children ages three to five, Lingo Zoo is available on
the iPad™, iPhone® and iPod® touch, creating an interactive
medium for children to develop spatial recognition and attention
skills. In addition, entertaining puzzles help with the
categorization and grouping of visual information. Children are
rewarded for completing each jigsaw when they hear the name of
the animal in English and Spanish as well as the noise
associated with that animal. Each sound can be repeated to
encourage learning and understanding.
“Children love solving puzzles. We’ve incorporated their
fascination and love into a language learning game that helps to
develop spatial recognition and attention skills,” said James
Peak, education manager for Mindshapes. “We’ve purposefully made
the language learning subtle, so children are able to focus on
the fun and excitement of puzzle solving.”
Lingo Zoo by Mindshapes is available on the
App Store for $2.99.
