Emotions Playkit app for iPhone and iPad

Emotions playkit is a multi-sensory method to help children identify and express feelings. Children experience calming activities, music, photography and an interactive mirror. The activities will help children learn skills to help with social interaction. The new “face game” is based on current research to help children with autistic spectrum disorders engage with others. Toddlers upwards will love this app!

Features:
• A magic mirror which your child and you can look into. As you look different eyes and mouths appear as an overlay for your own eyes and mouth. Children can change the emotions from happy to sad and angry, by simply touching the flower. They then match the music to the emotions, by pressing the different shapes.
• Camera for taking photos of children’s facial expressions.
• A robot which changes to children’s facial expressions.
• Mood music that can be turned on/off
• Sand drawing
• Water play in a pond
• Talking Robot which asks children”What do you do when you are happy?”
• A play scene which encourages children to take the role of a Robot that is talking about feelings. Children may also choose to be a listening robot.
