Antique ABCs is a uniquely delightful tool for preschool and kindergarten learning, set in an atmosphere of nostalgic charm. Beautiful hand-engraved alphabet prints from the 19th century come to life with engaging and entertaining 21st century interactive play. Touch-screen technology and gentle animation are seamlessly merged with the look and sound of yesteryear to help children learn while having fun. With its retro appeal and modern-day magic, Antique ABCs is an abecedary to captivate all ages.
Updating the delicate illustrations from German lithographer Joseph Martin Kronheim’s My First Alphabet with FusionLab’s amusing modern-day animations and touch-screen interactions, Antique ABCs presents the alphabet in three different functions: Song, Spinner and Shuffle.

SONG plays the classic alphabet song with period-evocative sound effects and enchanting animations.
SPINNER lets children give the rattling wheel a “spin” and test themselves on letters as they come up in randomized order.
SHUFFLE challenges children to reorder the jumbled alphabet into order, either from a fixed grid or a floating pile of cards.
