This picture collage is just a small sample of the games on offer at Poisson Rouge. The alphabet is available in 6 languages with a mini-game represented with each letter of the alphabet. As you can see there is a sorting game requiring a "click and drag" of the fruit placing them into the correct bowls. There is a cake making game which requires some visual perceptual skills to match the item to the shadow. Once the shadow is matched then it is added to the cake and finally the cake is baked. The fish game asks the player to match colours whilst naming the colour. The x-ray game is a fun activity moving the x-ray around the body. The zebra game is a puzzle to be completed. The creators describe their site like this "Poisson Rouge makes toys, that one can grab and manipulate and study and make one's own, within a privileged environment" and "Poisson Rouge doesn't try to teach, but offers a play-and-learn environment suitable for free exploration. There is no right or wrong way to play." Whilst reviewing this blog, I have discovered that the creators of Poisson Rouge will be beginning a paid subscription to access this website. It is unfortunate but understandable in this economic climate. This begins on February 15th 2014, so I suggest accessing the website now and giving it a test run whilst it is still free. http://www.poissonrouge.com/ Poisson Rouge have also created some apps for Android and the iPad. They are based on mini-games you can find on the website and are just as easy to navigate. Here is a quick summary of the English language apps. I have included "Youtube" clips where available for you to see the apps in action. Visit Poisson Rouge and explore the website for yourself! Let me know what you and your children think of the website and apps. I have 2 promo codes available for each of the apps featured here for the first 14 people to comment below {1 promo code per person}. These codes are redeemable for the next month only. I look forward to hearing from you! This is not a sponsored post. However, if you purchase the apps through the links here, I will receive a small commission. All comments made are my own.

Thanks for this review, Cindy. Poisson Rouge looks fantastic and I am looking forward to my little boy using it when he's a bit older. (At the moment he will break my touchscreen or throw my PC...) 13/2/2014 10:35:50 am
The website does appeal to children of "all" ages. Lol. A free promo code is coming your way.
