Description
White: The App is a playful and visual journey for the very young. The app uses simple interactions (tap, hold and swipe) to make the eggs move.
The first scene, here comes the eggs, allows children to explore cause and effect.
Look after the eggs focuses on caring and nurturing the eggs – children can pop hats on cold ones, or tickle sad ones!
During the nap time scene children play music to soothe the eggs.
Finally children can wake up their eggs creating combinations of colour and sound.

What our experts think
This is a lovely app for young children; it is very simple and therefore they can succeed. We liked the way in which the children could develop their skill at using the tablet by making the eggs do different things.
With parental input their is a lot of scope for discussion; you could talk about cause and effect, sizes, colours and choices.
We liked the calm nature of this app; it is aesthetically beautiful and the music is serene!
