### 5/5 — Helen

*2014-04-25*

Everyone in our family loves this clever little chap Beanie. Our little ones enjoy watching him play all the different instruments and later on dream about them when he's in his bed, while  the older one likes to see and hear the instruments' names in other languages.They're all having great fun but are also learning all sorts of things without realizing it. Definitely an app to acquire.
