The app has three main activities: Dress-up, Wheel of Animals, Educational Videos

- In the Wheel of Animals activity, your child listens to the sounds of eight domestic animals (horse, bee, dog, chicken, cow, pigs, cat, duck), hears the pronunciation of the word in the chosen language, and sees the corresponding written words. In this activity there is a quiz mode too that allows your child to practice what they have just learned!
