5 Benefits of Educational Apps for Kids | Kadho Mochu Pop
Those precious toddler years serve as a huge building block for a lifetime of learning. What I personally call “The Sponge Stage,” this time in my 2 year old daughter’s life is so instrumental in fostering good learning habits and skills. Living in the age of technology, it’s no wonder that many parents turn to educational apps for kids. But what are the benefits? Check out these 5 benefits of educational apps for kids and why you need to grab your FREE Kadho Mochu Pop App today!
1. Fine Motor Skills
Some days it’s tough keeping up with those little fingers. Always busy, grabbing, reaching, climbing, exploring and doing. Parents, I know that you feel me (like the pun?)! These precious digits serve as one of the biggest sensory skills for learning at this age, which is why tuning those fine motor skills can be so beneficial for your little explorer. Educational Apps harness that curious nature to put those little fingers to use in a creative and stimulating way.
2. Language and Linguistic Building Blocks
My daughter is such a chatterbox! I am so enjoying all of the new sounds and words that she forms everyday. I’m sure that you’ve noticed the 1-3 year age as a crucial time for language and linguistic development. Educational apps based on language skills can hone in on this important language development time of their lives.
3. Color and Shape Recognition
I love watching my children’s eyes as they are learning. They seem to get even bigger, brighter and glow even more! Apps can provide that sense of learning wonder too when it comes to color and shape recognition. With diligence and fun, my son knew all of his colors and shapes (even ones like pentagon and parallelogram) by the age of 3. I’m on the way to doing the same with my girl.
4. Social Interaction
There’s nothing more rewarding than playing with your child. Educational apps provide the opportunity to just BE with your baby. Giggle when they giggle, guide them through challenging sequences and create memories.
5. Positive Reinforcement and Fun
One of the biggest things I can do for child as a parent is provide a safe environment to play and learn. Educational apps provide a great time for praise for learning and all while having a great time.

How to Play Mochu Pop
The Kadho Mochu Pop App is awesome. Mochu the Penguin greets your little learner with a bright screen of colors, animation and sound. Seriously engaging already, my daughter was itching to play.
After that, the play is simple. “Pop only the balloons with these shapes and colors” says the instructions. Then colorful balloons float through the screen as your child playful pops each one with their fingers as they go by. Fun music plays softly in the background as they pop the correct balloon, basic sound building blocks emerge. In no time, I’m hearing my daughter repeat the same sounds, giggling all the while. There’s a score announced at the end of round and a mini celebration (insert cheering and clapping by my daughter). There’s a blue light filter built into the game to protect your child’s eyes too (how cool is that?).
Even better, the sounds are not just in English. Choose Spanish, French or Italian for a richer linguistic experience.
Want to track your child’s progress? There’s a really cool chart to see how your little learner is growing!
But the best part? I’m sitting with my daughter. We are learning together. Laughing together. Creating that amazing bonding experience together. And these memories…well, they’re priceless.

How fun! My kids were too old for this type of thing when apps came out. They would have loved it though. They liked playing educational games on the computer.
Megan Elford says
What a great app! I love that they have a way for parents to track the progress of their child and what they’ve been learning. Sometimes we don’t realize what skills they’re actually picking up when it looks like they’re just playing a game!

This looks like an awesome app for young kids. I know my son really seems to learn from educational apps so I like them in moderation.

Educational apps like these are so helpful in teaching kids how to be sharper and more creative. It’s good to know that your kid is enjoying learning through the app as some kids find it hard to use tech gadgets at an early age.
Franc Ramon says
They can really learn so much with apps now. It keeps them entertained and make them creative.
Penny Struebig says
What great apps for kids! I so wish we would have had things like this when my son was smaller. It would have made it so much easier keeping him engaged when he had to sit still for various reasons.
Miranda (Myrabev) says
