Five Little Monkeys is an absolute gem for parents of toddlers. It takes the classic nursery rhyme and turns it into a high-quality interactive playground. What makes it stand out is how it manages to sneak in genuine educational value—counting, color recognition, and even reading—without ever feeling like 'schoolwork.'
The interactive elements are delightful; my child loves that they can actually shake the phone to make the monkeys do somersaults. The addition of different musical styles (Rock, Country, Pop) means you won't lose your mind listening to the same loop over and over. It’s a polished, safe, and truly engaging app that turns screen time into a productive, musical learning session. It’s one of the few preschool apps that truly understands its audience.
Interactive counting and math skills
Sing-along with highlighted reading text
3 musical genres: Pop, Rock, and Country
Shake-to-interact physics
Language options for English and Spanish
Tap on a monkey to see it jump off the bed, or shake the phone to watch them somersault! To add monkeys back to the bed and practice addition, tap the number icon in the corner. Encourage your child to touch objects like the lamp or the door to learn about 'opposites' like on/off and open/closed.
The app follows the story of the five monkeys. Children interact with the screen to trigger animations and progress the rhyme. It serves as both a digital storybook and a mini-game collection focused on basic preschool concepts.
The app is designed specifically for children aged 1 to 5, from pre-toddler to preschool age.
Just purchased and downloaded for my toddler and when we click on the app to open it we just get a black screen. We removed it and downloaded a second time and still won’t work.
Just downloaded app a second time and it is not working on 7 th generation iPad
Not updated to work on new iOS. Sad
My littlest (18 months) adores it.
No sound? For 99 cents? It is junk don't waste 99cents as I just did!
On the iPad.
This is junk!
My grAndkids have all enjoyed this ap so much. The youngest of them is wild about it! That said, it was most upsetting when the sound would not work. When I emailed them I heard back immediately. The first suggestion did not work and when I emailed them back, again I heard from them right away. This solution worked for all of the aps (not just fr this company) that no longer had any sound. I did not hear back fr any of the other companies that I contacted. So, not only is it a fun ap for the kids, but the company can be depended on when I might need them. I think that says a lot. I will check out all of their other applications.
