About Find the Star
Paper cups lift up to show a shiny star, then come down and start to slide around each other. Your child keeps an eye on the right cup and taps it when the cups stop. A wrong cup simply lifts to show it is empty, and your child can guess again.
How to play
- Watch which cup the star hides under.
- Follow that cup with your eyes while the cups swap.
- Tap your cup, or press its number key, counting from the left.
What your child practices
- Following moving objects
- Focus and attention
- Knowing hidden things are still there
