Read full description

Forestpals is a series of four apps for children between 2 and 5 years old. To create this High Quality Educational Series we worked closely with a major educational publisher for content validation. The result? A nice mix of story, games and music, cute animals and the seasons. For endless tablet fun, at home or in the classroom. Information for parents and teachers Forestpals is made for use in nursery schools and kindergartens, but can also be used in a home environment. Your kids will learn about animals, nature and the seasons with stories, fun and educational exercises, games and creative tools. Story and music Exercises are good for learning skills, but some values can only be taught by stories. Emotions and feelings like friendship and happiness are portrayed by a recognizable story. A catchy song acts as reward and a reminder at the end of the story. Games for fun and learning In this third Forestpals app we have integrated six games. The games focus on several skills like counting, motor skills, recognition, focus and creativity. Every game has 9 unlockable levels, starting very easy and gradually increasing difficulty with each new level. FEATURES Developing quality apps for toddlers, isn’t childsplay.
