After the launch of two extremely successful educational apps for kids—The Human Body and Plants—Tinybop is now introducing a new app called Homes.
This third part of Tinybop's Explorer's Library gives kids a peek into different houses around the world including a Brooklyn row house, a tower in Yemen and a Mongolian yurt. Inside each of the houses there are dozens of interactive rooms for kids to explore and personalize. Without actually having to travel to these places, Homes teaches kids about how people in other parts of the world live and gives them a look at different kinds of architecture, daily routines, food, animals and home decor. The app is made without rules or levels and instead Tinybop notes that "Interactive animations reward curiosity."
