This app has been a great hit with every child who has tried it. Don't miss the Perfect gift for your child, your grandchild, or your niece or nephew!
The first in a series of animated Word Toys, Noodle Words encourages emerging readers ages 4-7 to discover word meanings like they never have before. Through interactive play, our set of 18 active words come to life as the Noodle Bugs demonstrate word meanings with their highly animated antics. Young readers can interact with the words or the cute bugs using the iPad's touch screen. They literally play with the words to make SPIN spin and JUMP jump.
- Developed by award winning children’s designer Mark Schlichting, creator of the best selling Living Books series of interactive children's books.
- "I think Noodle Words a new classic; a breakthrough like Dr. Seuss's books, but in a sillier than ever, touchable medium." -- Ann H. McCormick, PhD, Founder, The Learning Company
- "It's refreshing to see a word app that introduces reading by encouraging children to play with words. There is a time and a place for letter sounds and blends, but in this app your child will connect word meanings with words, having a grand time in the process. I love this as an educator, but also as a parent of young children." -- Barbara Chamberlin, PhD, Director, NMSU Learning Games Labs
- "This is such a fantastic app for my profoundly autistic teenage daughter. It is perfect. All I wish is for there to be hundreds more words! Thank you for all the work that must have gone into this app." -- a satisfied Mom

Not all children learn to read the same way. Exposure, repetition, and context all help build relationships to vocabulary and understanding. Noodle Words is a word toy designed to offer emerging readers a playful modality for language acquisition and word comprehension. Kids of all ages can explore at their own pace, and develop a love of word play through direct interaction. It's even designed to draw-in the most hesitant early reader.
Noodle Words is a wonderful app to play with your children. Some kids love to show off what they can do, and others love to laugh with you when the Noodle Bugs do something silly. We hope playing together with your children brings you the same joy we had while making this app.

Great little app
My kids age 6 & 8 love this app. It is really helping my 6 yr old who is struggling with her reading/sight words. Just wish I could get a hold of more words. Great App!
Very Creative - More words please!
Really creative idea - excellent for building vocabulary! I very much hope this is just the beginning of *lots* more word sets using this format!! That's the only thing keeping me from giving it 5+++ stars!
Great but short on words
Awesome idea, and great execution but not many words. Wish there were more per set.
