Little Farmers - Tractors and Harvesters for Kids
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's It About?
LITTLE FARMERS - TRACTORS AND HARVESTERS FOR KIDS is a simulation game for young kids. There are two play areas with seven trucks between them. One leads to a set of fields where kids can plant crops, harvest them, and store them in a silo. The other has farm animals that kids care for by delivering water and food via truck. For completing tasks, kids earn stickers. They also can click on silly extra features such as a Loch Ness monster-style water creature in the pond.
Is It Any Good?
Kids who enjoy trucks will enjoy tending to their farms, but there isn't much depth to the overall experience. At first it's fun to drive around and grow crops and deliver feed, but then there's nothing else to do. The trucks aren't labeled, so kids won't learn what they are without parental help (and possibly research). Little Farmers - Tractors and Harvesters can serve as a starting point for talking about where food comes from, but without more activities, it won't add too much to kids' understanding. Truck-obsessed kids are the best audience for this app, while other kids may quickly tire of it.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about farming. What do farmers do? What are each of the trucks for? Does Little Farmers - Tractors and Harvesters for Kids show all parts of farming, or are there other types of farms and other pieces to the job?

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
