Colours, a dinosaur painting game

What your child does

Your child taps a colour and the dino changes to match, with the colour named out loud. The eight colours are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and brown. Later on it's finding a dino by its colour, then mixing two paints to make a new one.

What it teaches

• Colour names
• Matching
• Mixing colours

How it gets harder

Three levels. The game moves up when your child keeps getting the harder questions right, across more than one play session, and steps back down if it's too hard. Never by age.

1. Level 1Paint the dino any colour from the eight paint pots.
2. Level 2"Find the green dino!"
3. Level 3Mix two paints to make a new colour, like red and yellow making orange, with finding questions in between.

Like every game in Dinolets, there's nothing to read and no way to lose. A wrong tap gets a cheerful "Let's try again!".
