for preschoolers
EduPlay’s unique integration of software with pedagogical
accessories offers children a positive and enriching learning
environment.
EduPlay’s mulmedia environment and various activities help
develop creativity, problem-solving skills, visual and auditory
memory, cause and effect relationships, hand-eye coordination,
self-esteem and curiosity.
EduPlay’s modularity enables greater flexibility for the
teachers and children. EduPlay comes with two systems,
Illuminated Keyboard and Basic System, each offering unique
components. Teachers can work with either or both systems,
as needed. The teacher typically assigns groups of children
to interact with the system, providing opportunities to
develop critical social-emotional skills.The topics and
activities are adaptable to the existing curriculum and can
be easily customized to accommodate the age, learning
level and the cognitive development of the individual child
or the group.

Directions through
the Illuminated Keyboard
Our World in Names
The Illuminated Keyboard is designed
specifically for children ages 2 to 5
years. It features large keys that are
appropriate for small hands. These
activities introduce the students to
the keyboard and allow for them to
experiment with directionality.
Our World in Names requires
students to classify and categorize
objects according to group or size.
Nature in Puzzles
Whole and Parts
Puzzle activities are an opportunity
for students to visually manipulate
objects in order to construct a
picture. Students can turn, move
and color pieces both on screen
and using the didactic materials.
Whole and Part activities
build on students’ knowledge
of geometrical shapes. The
students identify, seek and
find, build and create with
familiar shapes.
Colors and Spatial Orientation
Butterflies
Geometrical Shapes
The Advanced level has words in addition to
pictures for an opportunity to incorporate
literacy skills as part of matching.
Two learning areas are addressed in this
section: Colors and Spatial Orientation.
Students identify colors and manipulate
objects in activities that incorporate
blocks, matrices and free drawing.
The butterflies' activities are an
extension of color. Students
are engaged in color matching
through pictures in a nature scene.
Early mathematical learning engages
students in identifying and categorizing
shapes by names and attributes. The
activities incorporate color recognition
and creativity.
Mathematical Terms- A
Mathematical Terms- B
Activities provide students with
ample opportunity for mathematical
thinking. Students engage in
estimating, identifying, counting and
comparing objects and quantities.
Through measurement and mathematical
operations, students extend their
knowledge of numbers and quantities.
Activities incorporate the didactic blocks,
which are color-coordinated and marked
with black lines to represent quantity.
Our World in Names
- Advanced -
Simple line drawings provide an
opportunity for students to visually
manipulate objects on a 9-piece
grid. These activities require spatial
perception and go beyond the shape
of puzzle pieces to see the picture as
a whole.

System Components
Multimedia Courseware (73 Activities)
EduPlay’s interactive software library is divided into twelve
programs. While exploring and learning each specific subject,
children develop important cognitive, psychosocial and motor
skills according to their abilities.
Comprehensive Teacher Manuals (3)
User guides provide easy navigation within the system and
suggestions for integrating the pedagogical accessories with
computer sessions as well as enrichment activities to facilitate
integration of EduPlay into the existing curriculum.
Illuminated Keyboard (1)
EduPlay’s Illuminated Keyboard is easy to operate and is appropriate for small hands. Comprised of six large keys (on a
30x22x10 cm panel) the keyboard works like a mouse and limits
the number of distractors.
Rulers (7)
Rulers allow for students to interact on a standard keyboard as
part of the EduPlay Basic System. Placed above the numbers, the
rulers draw students’ attention to specific keys to use when
interacting with the software.
3D Objects: Blocks, Shapes and Puzzles (135)
The colorful blocks, shapes and the diverse nature puzzles
provided with the system, let the students perform free-form or
system-guided activities. The concrete didactic materials are
seamlessly integrated with the system components supporting
and enhancing classroom teaching.
Mats (5)
Color-coordinated mats (100 x 70 cm), used with the concrete
materials, are placed on the activity table according to the
software activity.
Task Cards (4 sets)
The Task Cards are intended for use in teaching the basics of
guided learning with built-in feedback for self-monitoring.
