All animal illustrations are handmade and make this app a must have for all young animal lovers. I illustrated and developed this app for my own two children when they were 2 and 4 years old. To this day, it continues to be improved and enhanced. The entire app is still 100% child safe.

GENESIS:
Together with my two little ones ( then 4 + 2 years old ) I developed an app that combines their current favorite games. We tried to design all the games in the playground to keep them as clear and simple as possible. Distracting buttons that interrupt the flow of the game were removed altogether, relegated to the top corners or at least well hidden. In addition, we have tried together to optimize the things that always bothered us a bit in the previous game apps.

BACKSTORY:
At some point, even the most beautiful game gets boring. The subsequent search for "another game" somewhere on the iPad/iPhone was always quite nerve-wracking and frustrating for the little ones (and me). Fortunately, this game collection eliminates that. All games are clearly arranged on the home screen and your kids can quickly change the game themselves without getting lost in the vastness of the iPad/iPhone.
