Widgets Game

The Widgets game at iKnowthat.com is a fun, interactive construction set with animated pieces! It creates an engaging environment for rich, exploratory play. With this game, kids learn through experimentation and discovery. They build their own animated virtual "machines" using pieces called widgets. For example, they could design a contraption with a frog kicking balls into a target. Or, build a perpetual motion machine with balls moving through a tubular maze. There are an endless number of contraptions to be made!

This game also includes a set of puzzles consisting of partially built contraptions. These puzzles can help kids learn how different widgets work. And by solving selected puzzles, children can add "bonus" widgets to their collections.

Kids can develop important problem solving and critical thinking skills with the game.  And they can be creative and use their imaginations.
