My little girl is obsessed with the colouring in games. And the little characters that talk to her. Watching her play with the app, the colouring in activities are definitely her favourite part :)

Ava absolutely loves this app! She loves the songs… I think Bogfoot the pink monster one is her favourite!

This is the first app that Joe has used and he’s learning a lot. He keeps asking me questions about forest animals and fairies… thanks for that. He lights up when he finds new activities to do and areas to go to. The music is lovely also, well done. We really enjoy the stories as it’s something we do together.

As a busy mum, it’s nice to find an app that encourages my girls to sing and dance. I’ve noticed them coming up with their own songs and dances now. So very cute.

Lucas enjoyed the stories. He liked how the sounds change depending on what’s happening in the story. That brought it to life for him. He put his head back, closed his eyes and you guys did the rest.
