Description

A children's introduction to the art and science of light and color: explore light with prisms. lenses, and mirrors, investigate perception, and mix and sort colors.

Have you dreamed of entering a rainbow? How about collecting the colors in your room or seeing through the eyes of a bee? Explore the magic of light and color as you learn at the intersection of physics and art.  **2022 Winner of Japan's Digital Ehon Yoichi Sakakihara Prize for outstanding children's media!

Discover how light is made, how it moves, and the beauty it creates (hint: colors!). You can mix paint and light, play with prisms and lenses, sort colors, make rainbows, and so much more. Plus — use AR to collect and identify the colors all around you.

Light & Color is No.12 in Tinybop’s award-winning Explorer’s Library, a series of apps designed for curious kids ages 4+ to dive into big ideas. Other Explorer’s Library apps include The Human Body, Plants, Simple Machines, The Earth, Weather, Homes, Skyscrapers, Space, Mammals, Coral Reef, and States of Matter. The apps in this series have won Best of the App Store, App Store Editors’ Choice, Parents’ Choice, and Children's Technology Review Editor’s Choice awards.

Each Explorer’s Library app teaches kids foundational science. Kids learn by playing, experimenting, observing, asking questions, making guesses, and finding answers. We hope each app inspires conversations between you and your kids and sparks more learning in the world around us. Learn more at tinybop.com.

Lots to Explore

We are having a lot of fun exploring everything this app can do. We are especially enjoying playing with prisms, mirrors, and lasers and using AR to identify color names. More like this please! Maybe one on sound?! Please!

Developer Response ,

We've wanted to make a sound app for years. Still thinking about it.

It won’t let me change the feeling colors

Developer Response ,

Hi Imani (the dragon!),

You can change or delete any of the feeling colors by long pressing on them (when you do that you get a trashcan (to delete) or a magnifying glass (to view/edit). If you want visual instructions, email us at support@tinybop.com and we'll give you step-by-step screenshots.
