From the makers of award-winning Dexteria, Dexteria Jr. is a set of hand and finger exercises to develop fine motor skills and handwriting readiness. The activities are specially designed for kids age 2-6. New characters, sprite animations, music, and sound effects all add up to a fun and engaging experience for toddlers and preschool-aged children.

Dexteria Jr.'s unique hand and finger activities take full advantage of the iPad's multi-touch interface to help build strength, control, and dexterity.

For best results the exercises should be done on a regular basis in short sessions. The exercises are designed to be repeatable and engaging.

The automatic tracking and reporting feature makes it easy for parents, teachers and occupational therapists to identify time on task and progress. You can email the progress reports right from the app itself.

Multi-user tracking is available as an in-app purchase. (Note to Volume Purchase Program customers: Consider buying Dexteria Jr. VPP instead. It includes multi-user tracking and you will pay a lower net cost than if you buy Dexteria Jr. and upgrade each copy via the in-app purchase. Just search "Dexteria Jr. VPP" in the app store.)

• Increases coordination and motor control in the hands and fingers

• Fun graphics, music, and sound effects

• "Quiet time" mode turns off music and/or sound effects

• Automatically creates performance and usage reports that can be emailed

• Designed in consultation with Occupational Therapists

• Less expensive and more reusable than workbooks

• Multi-user reporting available via in-app purchase (iPad version only)

Fun app for fine motor skills

Although this app is described as being for preschoolers, I have found that many of the children aged 4 - 7 that I work with really enjoy using this app. There are three different activities in this app - squish the squash, trace and erase and pinch the pepper. Squish the squash is good for developing speed and dexterity and has cute animations and sounds to motivate the user. In trace and erase, I have the child use a stylus to help with pencil hold and motor control. A series of increasingly complex paths must be traced and then erased. The child's picture is then taken using a variety of special effects. Pinch the pepper helps develop pincer grasp and strengthens the web space (between the index finger and thumb) for writing. Each activity provides a reinforcement for motivation. The child's progress is recorded and the app starts at the level where they left off at in the previous session. The report that is provided can be emailed. This is a great app but I would like to see the ability to choose the starting level, to modify the difficulty within levels and to have multiple users.

Pay again?

I bought this previously but now it won’t let me use all of the games, nor will it let me use the “I already bought this” button.

iPhone X

Once you open you can’t exit. Not worth it.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your message. Closing apps on iPhone X is different than previous versions, and our apps display in landscape mode. Here's how to do it:

1. While holding the phone in landscape mode, swipe up from the "bottom" of the screen. Note that this is the long side of the display, not the short side due to the landscape mode orientation.

2. Use a quick swipe upwards to close the app.
