Are you ready for another fun app from Avokiddo? Today, Avokiddo has released Thinkrolls, an educational app with 18 different characters for kids 3-8. Thinkrolls offers two modes: Easy is for kids 3-5 and a hard mode for kids aged 5-8.
You start with 6 Thinkrolls and unlock new characters as you progress. There are seven different chapters each with 10 to 14 levels. You must progress through each chapter to get to the next level. The chapters include:
- Cookie: Kids get accustomed to the fine motor skills needed to navigate the mazes as they munch cookies to clear a path.
- Crate: Any child who has pushed a chair up to the kitchen counter to reach the cookie jar will know what to do with the crates.
- Balloon: Buoyancy gets added to the mix as kids burst balloons on spikes.
- Rock: Kids get a crash course in Newtonian physics as they discover that dropping a heavy, dense boulder will generate enough force to break through the cracked ground.
- Jelly: Bouncing on beds isn’t necessary when the springy jelly is available to launch the Thinkroll out of valleys and onto peaks.
- Fire: The crackling sound of flames will alert kids to a burning hazard ahead, but ice blocks extinguish the fire.
- Elevator: The culmination of everything kids have discovered and processed so far has them coordinating all the elements as they synchronize the movements of two different elevators.
Navigate your Thinkrolls through a series of obstacles in brightly patterned mazes. Each chapter introduces a new object with unique physical properties that kids discover through hands-on manipulation. Little players encounter and use force, acceleration, buoyancy, heat, elasticity, and gravity to their advantage to get their Thinkrolls where they need to go.
I let my 7-year-old play this, and he was addicted. He got the hang of what he was supposed to do to complete the levels and enjoyed the challenges of getting to the end.

Thinkrolls is an exciting, educational app with excellent visuals and sound effects working with physics and problem solving skills. It is just downright addicting as well as very fun to play. With its two different levels, this logic app is great for children of all ages both at home or in the classroom. Thinkrolls also provides a great opportunity for a family to work together and discuss the order of operations within multi-step activities. Avokiddo has found a way to teach physics on a level in which the very eager to learn child can understand, learn from mistakes, and of course have fun while learning in the process!

AwayGirl100 says
I think one misconception about letting younger kids play games, is that it doesn’t teach them necessary skills. this app proves that wrong! they are not only learning fine motor skills, but reasoning, problem solving and all while having fun!

I like that the younger children can get the hang of this adorable game !
Colleen Boudreau says
I like that this app is fun to keep the child interested.
