Created by parents for their own children (and tested extensively with those very same kids), Hippo Hooray Colors is a great way to help young children learn their colors as well as keep them entertained. From the makers of Hippo Hooray Letters and Hippo Hooray Shapes, Hippo Hooray Colors displays a rich variety of colors on balloons, cupcakes, coins, and leaves. A young voice encourages your child to choose the right colored object, helps them if they don’t pick right the first time, and pats them on the back when they choose correctly. There’s even a line of text for grownups to use to help guide their toddler and to help in noisy environments. Every so often a short video will pop up congratulating your child on doing a great job. Rather than a quiz format, each screen is like a little teaser for your toddler to learn from.

Amid beautiful illustrations, you’ll find Honey the Hippo and Raphael the Robin (yes, he paints!) peeking out from behind scenery, and coming out to encourage your child. (Keep an eye out for the monkey with the cupcake hat.) In addition to high quality artwork, the user interface is incredibly simple letting your toddler focus on cognitive, language, and motor development.
