What’s It About?
Explore nine human-body themed topics with PINKFONG MY BODY. Short music videos introduce the brain, heart, lungs, five senses, teeth, bones, white blood cells, parts of the body, and digestive process. Each topic also has an activity. For example, kids can place bones in the skeleton puzzle or punch out germs with a boxing glove-clad white blood cell. Every four games earns a sticker.
Is It Any Good?
The songs are catchy but minimally educational, and the activities are light on learning content and creativity in this human body-themed collection. Pinkfong My Body does a great job of offering simple content in multiple languages, which makes it easily accessible to a wide audience. Unfortunately, the content is just not all that impressive. The music videos hold all the educational content, as the activities without them are empty of any context. But, even the songs just barely touch the surface of what kids can learn about the human body. And they're quite catchy, which means you'll be singing them over and over again in your head whether you want to or not.As stand alone games, the activities also aren't very inspiring. Once kids run through the videos and activities once, there's not much reason to want to keep coming back. Pinkfong My Body doesn’t offer nearly enough to justify its $10.99 price tag.

If you're not going to buy the full version, pre-warn your kid about the limited access on the free version of Pinkfong Who Am I?.

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.
