Peekaboo Barn

Our Review

With each tap on the barn door, you will be greeted by a different farm animal image, sound and name, with settings in both English and Spanish. Peekaboo Barn is a simple yet brilliantly-designed application that is both educational and entertaining for infants and toddlers alike. By combining each animal’s image, sound and written name, this application facilitates a visual and auditory learning experience. Furthermore, the illustrations and narration are beautifully executed making it a pleasure to experience. It’s always a hoot to play this app with my babe.

Description from the Developer

Inside a little bouncing barn, friendly farm animals are waiting to pop out and surprise your little one. Try and guess who they are; tap the doors to find out!

Work with your child to learn the names of animals--in English or Spanish--and hear the sounds they make! Younger children will love opening the barn doors to find a new animal animation, as they learn about cause and effect and become familiar with animal names and sounds. Older children will enjoy guessing animals by sound, then seeing the animal names, which helps develop early literacy skills. And everyone will adore the illustrations by Divya Srinivasan, whose work is regularly featured in the New Yorker.

FEATURED BY APPLE
Peekaboo Barn has been downloaded more than 200,000 times. It has been a top 10 educational game on the iTunes store nearly every day since its launch, and has been featured by Apple multiple times. Peekaboo Barn was voted Best Toddler App Ever for 2009 (MacWorld Expo) and recommended by the New York Times, USA Today, and Wired.

Peekaboo Barn was made for you and your toddler by artists and educators, not marketers, robots, or companies repackaging clip art. Our team has backgrounds in cognitive science and child development, and weve worked in educational media everywhere from Yahoo! to the Smithsonian Institution.

When you could really use a safe distraction--in airports, restaurants, and waiting rooms--or you'd like to try something new with your little genius, Peekaboo Barn is the educational, artful solution. Enjoy!

NO SOUND?
