What is so great about this app? It can be fantastic for following directions, giving directions, understanding negatives (the one that is not...) and memory. I have found that nearly all my kids will request this as a reward once they've played it once, which makes for a great way to sneak in some more practice for their memory and following directions in a fun and creative way.
The idea is that there is a cast of three characters who place orders at your ice cream shop. There are five flavors of ice cream and five cones and cups and you are responsible for figuring out what the person wants. It begins with simple orders of one flavor and continues to get more complex.
The only complaint that I have for this app is that it can be tricky to get more than one flavor to stick on the cones and you have to be sure to stack the second and third scoops to the sides to be able to pile on a fourth and fifth scoop. This issue aside, I love this app. I had purchased the full version, but I found that for following directions, having so many choices (an additional 5 flavors plus toppings) was just too much distraction. It was fun just to play, but just got a little too complex for my younger crowd.
A very fun app that can be an excellent way to work in some memory and following directions in sessions or at home!
