Jake and The Neverland Pirates Shapes App

Jake and the Neverland Pirates Shapes app

By Lynn

What a cute app. There are 3 games that they can play, where one is just creating a little pirate. You can add your own photo (take it right then, or choose from iPad album); do your own voice recording and then your pirate does this cute dance. My little one LOVED the voice recording and did it over and over – it even gives pirate phrase suggestions such as “Argh!” and “Walk the Plank!”

I liked the shapes game “Twilight Treasure Hunt” that included a bit of a story, so the children aren’t just told “Do this”, “Do that”. You actually get to see the characters interact with each other, and children can tap various objects that sparkle (like Cubby’s map) to make it move. My little one (3 years old) said the “loop-dee-doopty” (“Pirate Patterns”) one was hard – the ground that the characters are walking on goes up and down adding some excitement so she got nervous figuring out the pattern, her personality I think! I really like that they have to pay attention to a longer pattern.

“Jake’s Shape Game” – the child has to complete a basic pattern and then trace the shape, which doesn’t have to be completely accurate – always a bonus! My favourite activity is for them to use more than one shape to create a shadow puppet on the wall.

The games are basic for kids to play over and over again so they can learn shapes and patterns in a fun way. A grown up can be involved, especially in the beginning to help the child out. There is a clear voice giving instructions so reading is not required. It gives the opportunity for an adult to sit with the child and go over what they are doing.

This seems perfect for children 4 -6. There are some challenges that a younger child might not get (continuing a basic pattern) but the other games they can play, even if they just tap around. They joys of little children apps is they just get told to “try again”, and they can keep on trying!

We received a copy for review.

Our family is a huge fan of Jake & The Never Land Pirates, so much so that we’re so excited to have cable again and are able to watch it On Demand. We also find ourselves watching it whenever we’re in a hotel as we travel together. I love traveling with my kids and we love to have adventures like Jake does!

Jake saves Never Land from vanishing forever in the new JAKE AND THE NEVER LAND PIRATES: NEVER LAND RESCUE that was released on DVD November 19th!

Value-Packed DVD Includes 4 Additional Episodes plus an Exclusive Destiny Sword with Glow in the Dark Stickers! In addition to the extras on the disc listed below, there’s a keen inflatable Sword of Destiny inside the package.

In "Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Never Land Rescue," Jake embarks on his most heroic mission ever as the magic of Never Land begins to disappear just as the ancient Forever Tree seems to be fading away. After a mysterious figure known as "The Guardian" arrives to explain that only the pirate who truly believes in himself can save Never Land from vanishing completely, Jake must break off from the rest of his crew and go alone on a mission to save the Forever Tree, the source of magic throughout all of Never Land. Guiding Jake on his quest is Tinker Bell, who makes her first-ever appearance in the series. (The storyline is secondary to the fact that, all the while, Jake is helped by the “Guardian of Never Land,” whose disguise only obscures him partially, making it pretty easy for little ones to figure out who it really is.)

Which all I can say is Jake and the Never Land Pirates is a hands down hit with all the kids in the neighborhood. My kids keep singing the song over and over and over and over, you get the picture.

The Jake and the Never Land Pirates Album features:

The album features a variety of songs that kids and parents can enjoy together. Songs include the kooky, comical "Hot Lava," “Aw Coconuts,” "Pirate Password,” and the arrrghhh-rated “Talk Like a Pirate.” Some songs refer to popular characters in the show, such as “What’s Cookin’ Smee,” "Captain Hook (Is A Cranky Crook)," “Tick Tock Croc” and “Bucky’s Shanty.” Others capture the island spirit of Never Land, such as “Castaway on Pirate Island," "Shipwreck Shuffle" and "Never Sky," as well as the "Jake and the Never Land Pirates" theme song. All songs can be heard in episodes of the show.
Portland, Oregon-based Hoskins and Hendrickson have been creating pirate rock music for kids of all ages for more than a decade. The duo produced four previous children’s albums and even led their own pirate band. The pirate rockers also provide the musical score for “Jake and the Never Land Pirates.”

I think as far as children’s DVD’s go this one is a must because I haven’t found a child yet that doesn’t like it. They all LOVE it.
