PuzzleKid Animals app for iPhone and iPad

PuzzleKid Animals gives you or your child thirty jigsaw puzzles for your iPhone or iPod touch. As the name implies, the puzzles in PuzzleKid Animals are colorful line illustrations of familiar and exotic animals. The puzzles are broken into nine pieces, and the background guide image can be hidden for an extra challenge.

As you start each puzzle, the pieces are in a group alongside the puzzle image, waiting to be fitted. And fitting the pieces couldnt be easier: just touch each piece, drag it to where you think it should fit on in the puzzle image, then let it go. If youve found the right place, the piece fits snugly into place; if youre mistaken, then the piece floats back to the group where you picked it up. Nobodys keeping score, so you can try as many times with any of the pieces as you like, until all of the pieces are fitted. You can easily go to a different puzzle whether youve finished the one youre working on or not. And if you want to start a puzzle over, just shake! You can even hear the puzzle pieces "falling" out of the puzzle image as they return to their starting positions. (And yes, you can adjust or mute the volume of the sound effects for those environments where the sounds would be inappropriate or distracting.)

And thats it! Nothing too complicated to figure out, so even the youngest puzzle solver will be able to become a proficient puzzle piece pusher pronto! Imagine how much fun this app could be for the kids on a trip to the zoo!
