'Me' by Tinybop is a new app that encourages kids to create a dynamic self-portrait through a series of hundreds of questions. In the app, kids are asked about everything from their feelings and their families to school and their home life.
In the process of answering questions, creating drawings and adding stickers, kids will develop self-awareness, social awareness and emotional literacy. The Me by Tinybop app was developed based on research that suggests the more that a child understands themselves, the more able they are to exercise empathy and understanding to others.
Me is the fifth app in Tinybop’s Digital Toys series, which also includes The Everything Machine, The Monsters, The Infinite Arcade and the iPad App of the Year, The Robot Factory.
