mix and match 11 animals

options are: elephant, kangaroo, dinosaur, penguin, pelican, koala, flamingo, mosquito, gorilla, monkey, & crocodile. With each mix & match, you get a cute little name mixing the animals together based the body parts used/part of the word (head - beginning of the word, torso/body - middle of the word, feet-end of the word) I wish I had known which animals were used before getting. But its cute to say the least

Too much consumerism

Is It Any Good?

Cute graphics, silly animations, and a large number of ridiculous animal combinations make for great fun and lots of giggles. A sweet rendition of traditional flipbooks, it has an added twist of sound and animation. The language options are a nice touch for kids to work on segmenting syllables or learning animal names in other languages. Though there are a good number of available animals, making for even more possible animal combinations, the appeal may be limited: There are only so many times kids will want to mix animal parts and laugh at what they've created. A photo option would be nice so kids could capture their creations, and some space for commenting on or describing these new animal combinations would round out the game and offer some ways to keep kids more engaged. Yet, overall, it's is a sweet and entertaining game.

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 suggesting a diversity update.
