My First Movies Animal Antics

iOS iPhone

School Zone Publishing Company has been creating children’s educational products for over 30 years. We are proud to introduce our latest product: My First Movies: Animal Antics for iPhone and iPod touch.

  Key Features:

• 3 full-length movies with an educational spin
• An original music score
• Clay animation, puppetry, and animation
• Kid-friendly buttons
• A simple-to-use interface

My First Movies: Animal Antics is a great, yet simple, first application for toddlers and preschoolers. Each of the three kid-friendly movies lasts approximately 2–3 minutes, which is perfect for this age group’s shorter attention span.

Videos, in general, can present extensive amounts of information in a short time. Research indicates that very young children learn best from video programs that are composed of a number of short segments, each approaching the same subject from a slightly different viewpoint, with liberal use of rhyme and humor. School Zone’s My First Movies uses images, music, color, motion, and a variety of techniques to capture a child’s attention and interest—over and over again.

Animal Rap
 “I’m a pig with a turned-up nose/Who slops in mud without his clothes,” sings a cute piggy puppet in this delightful rapping puppet movie about animal characteristics.

Magical Animals
 Through clay animation, a funny magician performs magic with a simple ball of clay. Children will be captivated as they watch a ball of clay transform from one animal shape into another.

Animal Crackers
 As a child sings a whimsical song about her animal crackers, she realizes that the animated animal crackers she sees have some parts missing. Once she figures out which parts are missing, the parts are magically found and reattached to the animal crackers.
