Peppa Pig - Happy Mrs Chicken
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.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Peppa Pig - Happy Mrs Chicken features Peppa Pig and friends from the British cartoon on Nick Jr. as well as Happy Mrs Chicken from the Nintendo DS game that Peppa Pig plays on the show. Kids play five simple mini-games and collect stickers that they can use to decorate scenes. The game is designed to be safe and appropriate for kids age 3 to 6 and contains no in-app purchases, ads, or collection of usage data. Kids who are big fans of Peppa Pig may enjoy the games, but the simple activities may not hold other kids' interest long enough to complete them.

What’s It About?
PEPPA PIG - HAPPY MRS CHICKEN features the same voices and animation as in the popular kids' show plus five mini-games kids complete to earn stickers: a puzzle, a maze, a mud-puddle activity, an egg-hatching game, and a sorting game. Kids have a goal to hit in each game, such as hatching 100 eggs to get a sticker, which may take some time and focus. Kids can tap a door at the bottom right of the screen if they want to quit before they reach the goal. They can use the earned stickers to decorate scenes in their sticker books.
Is It Any Good?
The characters are cute and funny, and kids will get a kick out of the silliness of the games, especially jumping in mud puddles and laying eggs. The novelty wears off pretty quickly, though, as that's all there is to it. Kids may not be very willing to play long enough to hatch 100 eggs to earn a sticker or jump in dozens of mud puddles to earn one. The way the characters move doesn't seem totally responsive to the gestures, either, which is pretty frustrating and makes it feel like kids aren't really in control. Although kids may start with interest and excitement, especially if they're big fans of Peppa Pig, Peppa Pig - Happy Mrs Chicken isn't likely to keep their attention for long -- certainly not long enough to earn many stickers. Luckily, the main characters' stickers are included automatically, so kids can play around with the sticker scenes even if they don't win anything.
