Sago Mini Fairy Tales - Best Apps for Kids

Sago Mini Fairy Tales is in the collection of exploration and free-play apps from Sago Sago. As usual, there are no rules, no guidelines, no time limits, and no how-to. Kids simply move Jinja the cat through a fairy tale world and watch what happens as she encounters different characters. There are several characters from classic nursery rhymes (for example, Humpty Dumpty) and fairy tales (Rapunzel). Kids don’t need to have refined touchscreen skills: They play by tapping and dragging Jinja or simply by tapping a location and watching her move there automatically. There is some mild body humor -- an underwater fart, a big burp -- that likely will give kids the giggles, and Jinja gives a frog a big smooch on the lips, which may provoke an "ew" or two.

Graphics and animations are cute and super kid-friendly. Young kids will enjoy dragging Jinja around and watching silly things happen, but older kids may get bored quickly.

Kids stretch their imaginations as they guide Jinja through a magical world and watch what happens. They'll also explore cause and effect as they tap the interactive elements. If kids invent stories about what's going on, they also can practice language skills and get creative juices flowing.
