Tint helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

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

In order to release all of the origami objects in the level, the player needs to have a plan for what colors to execute when. If the player just starts moving colors randomly, they may find that they trapped themselves into an area where they have no more available moves. They will then need to restart the level over again and try a new approach. In order to develop planning skills, games like Tint are a good way to focus on this skill without time limits, points, or other scoring systems--users can simply focus on their goal and how best to approach it. 

Flexibility: Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations. 

The puzzles in Tint sometimes have multiple options for solving them or require looking at several different options at once. This requires the player to use their flexibility skills to successfully complete each level. With over 300 levels in the game, the player will need to use their flexibility quite often while playing. In order to practice this skill, players should start with the first few levels in the game and try several different approaches within those levels until they feel comfortable with these approaches to tackle more complex levels.
