App Alert Review: Tiggly Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen

Time to play Sesame Street Kitchen with Tiggly Words

We received a download code for the new Tiggly app, Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen so that we could try out the app and review it. Opinions are 100% our own.

Andrew has grown up with the Tiggly apps. We started with Tiggly shapes and then moved on to Tiggly Counts and now he’s been using Tiggly Words. When I learned about the new Tiggly app where Tiggly has partnered with Sesame Street to put out a new app called Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen I knew that we had to check it out. So, I asked for a download code and Andrew has been playing this game a lot.

Playing Sesame Street Kitchen

The game is really very simple. Cookie monster gives the child two to three letters and there is a space for a single letter.

If a word is made then the children can add colors and stir the cookie mixture until a new cookie is made. Based upon how much of each color they use will determine how the cookie itself looks. Then once the child created four cookies then they can either share them with cookie monster or eat them themselves. Andrew enjoys making cookie after cookie and learning new words. It makes it fun because Cookie Monster is encouraging and funny. Continue reading App Alert Review: Tiggly Sesame Street Alphabet Kitchen
