## What is Puppet Pals 2?

• “Puppet Pals is an amazing app that lets you create animated cartoons.” -David Pogue (NewYork Times) 

Children unlock creativity with this easy to use (but hard to put down) interactive puppet show! Even young children can create high quality cartoons from their imaginations. Kids can even star in the show along side the built-in characters! 

Teachers: Engage students by allowing them to act out historical events, practice language skills, or deliver a killer book report. The cartoons that kids are making have delighted thousands of teachers and parents around the world - let yours be next to experience this award-winning digital addition to your classroom. The finished projects are easily shared to be watched by others (share via email, Facebook, or simply copy the video file to your computer and distribute how you see fit - Hint: students love to see their work displayed on a classroom blog). 
• Create short instructional videos (in any learning area) 
• Storytelling, Reports, Historic Retells 
• Help reluctant public speakers present to the class 
• Help foreign language or ESL students practice their fluency & language skills

Characters chosen from standard curriculum allow kids to fully engage with content - not even realizing they are actually learning valuable lessons that will stay with them for years to come!

### 5/5 — OMG i love it

*2025-05-17, version 1.6.9*

This is the best app ever. i love all the silly characters and animals! Could u please let us make bodies???

### 5/5 — A really great and complete App for children and parents

*2025-02-25, version 1.6.9*

First the complaints: I just bought the whole pack and some characters came to me without hats and the headphones don't work when I use the application. Now the good thing: I think it's a great application for children and parents; it's very well thought out. Some suggestions are that you put the option to import audio, so that parents can previously record it and concentrate on the management of the puppets, with the option to speak when they are pressed. You could also include the import of drawings or photos of arms, legs and torso, to make it more professional (or create another similar App, where you can also import vehicles and make quads, there goes the idea); I say the latter because I have the project of making a channel for children and I would like to know if I can make monetizable videos with this App and under what conditions.

### 1/5 — .
