Today's GFAOTD is a really cute and unusually deep app for preschoolers/kindergartners. Learning Games for Preschool to Kindergarten, featuring Icky and Olly, covers math, alphabet, fruits, shapes, colors, counting and animals.
The app tracks how the child does and increases the difficulty based on their progress. It also has a parent dashboard that indicates, to a great deal of specificity, what the child is getting right and wrong.

GAME DESCRIPTIONS
Meet Icky and Olly! They’re playtime friends who have fun adventures here in the land of Agnitus learning! Icky (who has a sweet little laugh) will help your child recognize colors, fruits, and animals! Icky’s sidekick, Olly, shows your child how to learn and play with shapes and numbers! Here is what we play and learn:
Colors: We love colors, yes we do! Learning how to find each hue!
Shapes: Find the shapes and count them too! Stepping stones in front of you!
Fruits: Yummy says Icky! Oranges, cherries, blueberries – learning to notice them! Limes, pears and watermelon – all green - Can you tell them apart?
Animals: Elephants, tigers, monkeys and more, now you see them, now you don’t! Was that a snake, a hippo or a frog?
Numbers: Beginning numbers - we count, it’s true! As part of learning our colors for you!
