My First Word Play app

Perfect for little hands and inquisitive minds, DK My First Word Play is perfect for pre-school children who are just learning to engage with words. With a clean design and games that teach children the basics in a fun and communicative way, it is the perfect start to making learning fun.
The design matches the iconic My First books which provide a colourful and visually creative background for learning. Like the My First books, the app is packed with bright, lively pictures and large, simple text - but here it comes to life!
DK My First Word Play is in Apple universal format, which means that it can be purchased once and downloaded onto the iPhone and iPad. An easy to use and clear design means that children can use this app by themselves, or with a little help here and there.
Highly Commended for the Best Educational App in the Junior Design Awards 2012
