The latest Caboose update offers TWO games in one Application for your kindergartener and preschooler: pattern recognition; sorting objects by size and sorting letters/numbers by position.

It is built to work on all Apple devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) running iOS 4.0 or later.2. Sort by rearranging letters, numbers, and shapes to help @Reks dinosaur travel across Europe.
Pattern recognition and completion as well as sorting represent an important developmental skill for preschool children by expanding their intelligence quotient (IQ). It is a cognitive exercise for your child’s brain. Caboose requires the child to compare concepts and recognize patterns, and to compare size / position and sort
objects/letters/numbers accordingly. The process of comparing helps the child prepare for learning to recognize shapes, colors, numbers, size, etc.
