Color Zen Redux  helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Planning:  Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

The order in which the colors are removed from the board is important because if it is not done correctly you will be left with extra colors remaining. The player needs to be able to look at the board and see the possibilities for moves and make a plan for how they will combine the colors to make it through the level. Players who struggle with planning will find the first few levels good for practicing this skill before moving on to more complex levels. 

Self-Awareness: Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings.

The abstract color imagery and ambient music make Color Zen Redux the perfect game for someone who needs to calm down and take a break. Players who need to practice self-awareness may find that this game can help them calm down and focus on a task that is removed from whatever emotions they are feeling. Earlier levels can allow the player to become accustomed to the gameplay to avoid frustration.
