As if creating a beautifully written and illustrated animated book were not enough, Little Pickle Press has incorporated fifteen brain strengthening games or “workouts”. Each of these interactive activities demonstrates how different learning experiences can enhance brain development. Children can learn how to play chess, engage in listening games, recognize musical sequences, consider an emotional response to paintings, and even practice trying to pat their head and rub their stomach at the same time. Afterwards, they can discover why each activity strengthened their brain and reflect on their learning process in an embedded journal. Quite possibly, they just felt a little stretching beneath their skull!
This ingenious book app offers a window into the inner workings of the brain while raising awareness of the thought process. Spend time reading and discussing this book with a child you love. A truly valuable learning experience awaits you both.
Little Pickle Press will be launching our new Your Fantastic Elastic Brain App this weekend at the American Montessori Society Annual Conference in San Francisco, CA. Stay tuned for details on how to download the app.

Congratulations on the app. It looks interesting and I bet kids will like it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm in awe of anyone who can create an app!
This is a robust book app that includes not only the award-winning book but also intriguing and engaging brain workouts and activities that reinforce the concepts introduced in the book. How do you think we should price it? Thanks for your input! ~ Rana

Dani its a GREAT app!!! Super fun interactive games that the family can play together!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a tremendous app and it seems to work on some of us who are slightly outside the standard age range of the book.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great app,
ReplyDeleteA fun way of teaching children about the brain.

This App looks exciting for a number of reasons. From Diane's description it sounds like it can also be used by all ages, the medical field, at senior centers, for research and anyone who would benefit with building up neurons in order to preserve and or increase brain function as long as possible. Our newspaper today describes a neuroscientist's (father) and theater director's (son) interest in learning how the arts can help shape cognitive development, memory and attention. The activities are similar to those in this new App. In fact, the new Your Fantastic, Elastic, Brain App just might have a place in many places!
ReplyDeleteYou guys keep "upping" the bar and are turning out some really fantastic products! Good to see Little Pickle Press leading, and setting the standard! ~~Keith
