Help the young alien Zorbit and his friends practice early math fundamentals as they help Zorbit collect Power Stars so he can have enough fuel to go to a brand new planet: Earth! Your preschooler will hone counting skills, number and shape recognition, size and direction comparisons, and more!<\/p>\n<p>Each stage is represented by a planet, and there are six in all. In each one you\u2019ll help Zorbit or his family and friends do various things. Help Zorbit\u2019s mom wake him up for his big day. Then help the little alien count gumballs, feed his friend\u2019s pet, repair his dad\u2019s spaceships, and design Zorbit\u2019s very own Earth-bound rocketship!<\/p>\n<p>As you play each activity, you\u2019ll earn virtual stickers that you can place anywhere in a pretend sticker album. It kind of reminds me of the old Colorform toys they used to have when I was little. When you finish all the activities in a planet, you\u2019ll earn a Power Star. Luckily the price recently went down on this little downloadable math adventure, so now it\u2019s a pretty decent activity for youngsters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=10289\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10289\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10289\" alt=\"ZORBIT_SCREEN\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ZORBIT_SCREEN.jpg\" width=\"492\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ZORBIT_SCREEN.jpg 492w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ZORBIT_SCREEN-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/ZORBIT_SCREEN-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reading skill isn\u2019t needed, as all the instructions are told with spoken voices. Sometimes they don\u2019t tell you when to just tap or when you need to drag and drop things on the touch screen, but it\u2019s still pretty easy to figure out anyway. In the pet dinosaur feeding activity, you must use counting and sorting skills to feed the alien dino fruit, but that little guy has a habit of frequently burping, farting, and pooping (you even earn stickers of him doing those things). So some parents may not like that little bit of crude humor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>School is starting soon, and now you can give your young space cadet a rocket boost in preschool math skills with Zorbit\u2019s Math Adventure for iOS devices (played on iPad here).
