This is the accompanying app that will make our Classroom Rugs come alive and become interactive with the magic of augmented reality (3D without glasses). Match one of our seven habitat cards (pdf) with the correct animal on the rug and watch that animal come alive! Your device's camera then acts like a magic window allowing kids to walk around and explore the animal from all sides. Kids can also pose with and take pictures of their friends with the animals! This mind-boggling app helps create highly-engaging and magical learning experiences. Kids can learn about upper and lowercase letters as well as animal habitats from around the world. Great for early readers and STEM programs in Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms. As a bonus, you can watch our Zoo Crew Alphabet Music Video by scanning the logo in the center of your Classroom Rug. This 5-minute, entertaining and educational song introduces each of the 26 animals one-by-one as well as the alphabet letters in upper and lowercase. Rugs alive™ requires the purchase of one of our Classroom Rugs, which can be purchased at www.RugsAlive.com.
