Välkommen till Babblarnas värld och till de omåttligt populära figurerna Babba, Bibbi, Bobbo, Dadda, Diddi och Diddi. Här kan du gå hem till alla babblarna och klä ut dem, leka kurragömma, lyssna på sagor, lägga pussel, åka skateboard, måla, leka med kottar, odla saker som de tycker om, göra musik och gå på picknick. I bion finns de fyra musikvideor att titta på och i ordleken kan du leka med ord på ett pedagogiskt sätt. Appen är lämplig för de minsta barnen mellan 0-4 år och utvecklad enligt Karlstadmodellen där språkträning är i centrum och riktar sig till barn i tidig språkutveckling. Babblarna älskas av alla, stora som små och ingen tänker på att det är just språkträning det handlar om i leken och äventyren i Babblarnas värld. Babblarna pratar sitt eget språk som helt bygger på ljudet i deras namn och genom att lyssna på Babblarna när de pratar och genom att härma deras sätt att prata så tränas effektivt förmågan att använda betoningar och melodi i språket. Den här appen är utvecklad och utgiven av Filimundus tillsammans med Hatten Förlag AB, skaparna av Babblarna. Se mer på www.babblarna.se!
