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.

Again Santa flew way too fast with his sleigh. He dropped all his Christmas presents. Help Santa to catch them and save Christmas! The Elves know Santa for quite a while and they also know that he is always in a hurry. In good sense the Elves equipped each present with a parachute, so they can glide safe to the ground. You can activate/deactivate the parachute by tapping the presents. Try to drop as many Christmas presents as possible to Santa's Sleigh. In each round you have to drop a specific number of presents to the sleigh. The bottom left corner displays a 'hat' for each gift to go. The bells in the bottom right corner indicates how many gifts may pass the sleigh. Play 16 Rounds to save Christmas! Sleigh ------ You can speed up the sleigh a bit by tapping it. Fast Gifts ---------- Free falling gifts get a trail after some time. If they drop to the sleigh, you earn extra points. Drop three or more 'fast gifts' in a row to receive a combo-bonus. Comet ----- From time to time a comet passes the sky. Tap it three times to earn extra points. Candy Canes ----------- Candy canes are equipped with a small blue parachute. You can only disable the parachute - after that the candy cane falls off and hopefully hits the sleigh. Bonus Round ----------- Each 3rd round is a bonus round. The gifts take it up to the sky. Tap the gift in the right moment to let it land on the sleigh.
