The app collection is intended for the organization of activities supporting the multidirectional activity of children, increasing the level of sensory integration and shaping the ability to use the developing cognitive processes.
The proposed exercises stimulate, in particular, visual analysis and synthesis on thematic and athematic content, the ability to categorize, memory and concentration, analog thinking and movement planning (gross motor skills). The games support the development of language skills and encourage children to take initiative and action, including those related to social activation, through the possibility of working in a group.
The applications included in the package are used for multidirectional activation: motor, auditory, linguistic and visual. They also encourage the observation and analysis of problems and the search for solutions. Including them in educational situations, in particular in revalidation classes, enables experimenting and gaining experience as well as polysensory cognition, stimulating the child's development in all areas: physical, emotional, social and cognitive.
The participant will be guided through a variety of exercises in the land of shapes, colours, patterns, and pictures of known objects from the simplest to more complex forms that will be able to interpret, i.e. recognize, distinguish, find symmetry, similarity.
The authors of the app collection tried to respond to the developmental needs of preschool and early school age children, focusing on supporting motor and sensory skills during organized, safe and motion games.
The Happy Stones package contains sixteen interactive applications supporting the child's multidirectional activity.

  • The exercises are accompanied by a uniform background, without unnecessary distractors.
  • The palette of colors used consists of a fixed set of colours, with the dominance of cold colours - blue, gray, green, purple, which are conducive to peace, tranquility and concentration, as well as muted warm colors.
  • The visual forms selected in the collection mainly refer to real objects known to the child from everyday life - example of sweets, animals, toys or geometric shapes.
