Here is mine on raising plants: http://melslearninglab.com/ELH/STS/story.html
- KristinAnthony10 years agoCommunity MemberLiked the game, Melissa! I did a lot of *ahem* "research" on kids game apps and one of the things I noticed right off the bat with the preschool games was that there was little to no text and a lot of simple voice instruction and repetition of that instruction. I see that you implemented some of those concepts.
- JackieVanNice10 years agoSuper HeroThis is really unique, Melissa! It took me awhile to master it (a kid would no doubt have beat me to it!) but I finally applied just the right amount of water and all was well. Great creativity, as always. :)
- MelissaMilloway10 years agoCommunity MemberI'm going to add more tip bubbles. My boyfriend played it and he couldn't figure out that he had to dig a hole for the seed LOL.

- AlexanderSalas10 years agoCommunity MemberHi Melissa, this is an awesome look but, I couldn't play it too well. I noticed the negative points when I moved the trowel and then it got stuck on the door. Then again, I'm not anywhere close to being a garderner ; )
- MelissaMilloway10 years agoCommunity MemberHi Alexander, all of those things are supposed to happen! It's to help with motor skills. The negative points come in when you click the hint button. The trowel has to be put back where you found it before you can plant the seeds. I'll put a trowel outline there so it is inferred more.
- MelissaMilloway10 years agoCommunity MemberI used to work at a pre-school and fine motor skills was a big topic. Drag and drop games can help a little with fine motor skills but obv. not as much as a child playing with an actual object. Anything that requires precision when moving can help a bit.
I designed mine to be played with a child and parent/teacher/caretaker. I'm going to do a write up on it.
