Pinkfong’s 123 Numbers helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Focus: Responding to salient rewards for short term tasks

Pinkfong’s 123 Numbers is a great way for younger children to begin to practice their focusing skills. The games are short in duration, helping the child practice sustaining their attention for shorter periods of time. This can also be practiced when the child clicks on and listens to any of the songs featured on the app. For children who are ready to practice focusing for longer periods of time, the games will continue to loop after the initial activity has been completed, leading to longer periods of play and learning. 

Working Memory: Recalling and retaining information in our minds while working. 

Children can begin to practice with their working memory skills by playing the games in this app. Each game has a task which requires the child to access information in their brain about numbers, writing, and addition while they are manipulating the objects on the screen. Because each game is short in duration and has a limited number of options, this is a low-stakes way to begin to develop this skill within your child.
