Interactive car game for children aged over 2 years.
Many parents find their young children to be particularly fascinated by construction vehicles. Weve made it easy and exciting for your child to explore them.
Different types of construction vehicle and road-building machinery are presented as toys in a sandpit, making the process of learning familiar and appealing. Throughout there are lots of beautiful animations, with great video and sound effects. These make clear what each vehicle can do and how it helps people in the real world. All the vehicles are charmingly but accurately depicted, with little surprises such as opening doors and horns which sound.
It is really easy to make vehicles move by touching or tipping the screen. Your child will also be able to do things such as extend the arm of the crane or operate the dumper by simple touches. Each vehicle comes with an involving little mission to complete, such as moving toys around, which will help your child discover what each kind of construction vehicle can do. This exploration will be great for fine motor skills, and success at each stage will be made clear by the award of another gold star.

Latest reviews of Cars in sandbox: Construction app for iPhone and iPad
I found this app very well done although Im not so sure a 2 year old would be able to maneuver these vehicles. For one, they kept sliding backwards and it was often difficult to fine tune the movements, even for an adult!
Here is why i like the app--- I like the concept behind this app, I like that you can tilt the iPad to move the vehicle forward and backward. One of the vehicles - the one with the marbles - is hard to operates as an adult. The drawings on the sandbox wall were handy to know what to do! I do not like that there are links to Facebook within the app.
Thanks for this marvelous game for mu kid.
very good
Interactive teaching the app, it is suitable for children to learn!
