Little Sis had her final settling in session at nursery this morning. She went for 2 hours and stayed for lunch (but refused to eat anything). Her daily report said she enjoyed watching Peppa Pig and listening to stories. When we returned home she enjoyed some time playing the new ‘Sing and Play’ app, Jingle Bells on my iPad.
Sing and Play Jingle Bells features popular children’s Christmas carols and combines an entertaining and rewarding introduction to music with 10 engaging educational activities. It’s been a big hit with both my children already.
Kids can complete puzzles such as ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’ and ‘Silent Night’ and watch them come to life through playful animation, decorate and colour a selection of Christmas pictures with a range of tools, practice to sing and play ‘Jingle Bells’ on the keyboard, experiment with sounds and record their own music through the freeplay option and even complete their very own animated sticker sound board with reward stickers achieved during game-play.
Great for children aged 5 and under it is guaranteed to entertain for hours as they learn to sing, discover and play with a whole host of fun musical activities this holiday season.
Activities includes:
- Jigsaw puzzles – Based on 4 different seasonal songs – ‘Jingle Bells, ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’, ‘Silent Night’ and ‘Ding Dong Merrily on High’. Once completed, children will watch in wonder as the pictures come to life, allowing them to play with everything they can see.
- Playable keyboard – Let’s make music! Children can learn and practice the Jingle Bells song, as well as have fun with the freeplay activity on the keyboard, experimenting with different funny silly sounds!
- Colouring activity – Get creative with different brushes and tools! Use them to colour and decorate a Christmas scene, each based on a different Christmas classic.
- Animated sticker soundboard – Children can earn stickers throughout game-play as rewards, which then unlock in this sticker activity.
Sing and Play – Jingle Bells app is now available for £1.49 from the App Store or at www.itunes.com/appstore
