Fingerprint Apps for Kids




I was recently asked to  review Fingerprint , a ipod/iPad/iPhone app which is dedicated to developing great games that kids can play anywhere.

Fingerprint Play, launched by mom and former #2 at LeapFrog, Nancy MacIntyre, is dedicated to developing great games that kids can play
anywhere. And while they play, they learn--everything from story
comprehension to math skills.

Fingerprint games provide a fun and educational shared gaming experience on iOS devices for parent and child. Every Fingerprinted app meets expert standards for age appropriate curriculum, are branded with a FP logo in the app store, and can be accessed through one hub-page. 



Big Kid Life Firefighter 
Ages 4-7
Rampaging Fire Monsters are on the loose in Big City – chasing kitties, scaring puppies and setting things on fire! Kids use a special backpack hose to drench Fire Monsters, use ladders to climb past obstacles, and save kitties and puppies – all while practicing math, color and shape identification skills. 

Big Kid Life Veterinarian
Ages 3-6
Find out what’s ailing your pet! Kids X-ray animals and see what’s inside, revealing an exciting seek touch-and-seek game teaches letter and shape identification, phonics, logic and geometry.

Big Kid Life Fairy Princess
Ages 4-7
Every level tells a story, where everyday activities become fantastic adventures stories. Kids play through 15 magical adventures creating their very own Fairy Princess story while practicing story comprehension.

FINGERPRINT PLAYMAKER - A custom character creation game (created by Fingerprint)
Ages 4-8
Kids make their own play by customizing their character’s clothing, win and lose animations and sound effects to make a learning app as unique their own fingerprint. Kids learn number, shape and color identification, as well as addition, subtraction and word building.

Each game comes with the one-of-a-kind in-app Mom-Comm that allows parents to stay engaged in their kids’ experience. Features include:
  • Message Center: parents can write a note, record a voice message, or send a pre-scripted message or emoticons to encourage their kids
  • Snapshot: parents can receive a quick report via email, in app messaging or Facebook on what their kid is learning and playing
  • Recommendations: after a kid completes a game, Fingerprint can make recommendations to parents to help them choose a new game that will be enjoyable and appropriate, based on the kid's interests and skill set
Check out their website http://www.fingerprintplay.com/ and their facebook page.

These games are super cute and fun and of course educational. I highly recommend this to all of you who have children 3 to 8 years old.  Your children will love these apps.
