Kid’z Maze

Kid’z Maze is a labyrinth style game that has been developed for young children. It’s not intended for adults although honestly, these mazes are more my speed than the adult versions. The app has labyrinths without any holes so there’s no way to lose the ball and have to start over.  To navigate the mazes you hold the iPhone in landscape mode and tilt it in the direction you’d like the ball to roll. Guide the ball through the maze, when you reach the end you can move on to a new one. The app features 100 different mazes.  As you navigate through the labyrinths your ball will run into balloons that have the numbers 1-10 on them. Pop a balloon and the number is said aloud. So as you travel through the maze you get some practice counting numbers.

Kid’z Maze features four different labyrinth sizes – Small, Medium, Large or Extra Large. As the size increases so does the difficulty. You also have the ability to change the color of your ball, the color of the maze’s background and the colors of the tiles.

I think Kid’z Maze is a great app for preschoolers (and probably younger children). It gives them the feel of a big kid game without the frustration that can come from trying to play one. The fact that it teaches numbers is an added bonus.
