Pati Pals offers ad-free educational games for kids ages 6–9, with animal friends along for the fun. Count, share equally and finish patterns, then make ice cream, play the piano or color a picture. Play offline, with no timers and no lives to lose. A JOURNEY THROUGH 100 LEVELS Play three short games in order in each level. Visit the Picnic, Birthday, Garden, Funfair and Kitchen as these five places take turns along the map. MATH AND THINKING • 40 core tasks cover counting, finding what's missing, sharing equally, patterns, putting things in order, sorting and grouping, comparing and memory. • Four learning steps: Explore, Try it, Think, and Expert for ages 8–9. A grown-up selects the child's age, and the learning step increases as levels progress. MAKE, PLAY AND EXPLORE • Discover over 90 hands-on activities along the journey. Make burgers, pancakes, cookies, birthday cake or ice cream. • Play the piano, xylophone, drums and ukulele, or join the kitchen band. • Balance weights on a scale, pay with coins in shops, and solve math questions and riddles. • Explore questions about animals, nature and weather. Make a kite, a birdhouse or a sandcastle. PUZZLES AND COLORING Put together jigsaw puzzles, find matching pairs and spot the differences. Color pictures and save your artwork to the photo library. TIME TO THINK • Kids can rethink and try again after a wrong attempt. • A hint hand shows the next move. Replay a demonstration to see how to play. • Collect gifts after tasks and keep memories in a keepsake album. • Enjoy music and sounds for each place, with an option for less movement.
