Enrich the Mind of Your Preschooler with Chocolapps Abricot Volume 2 for iOS
The Second Issue of Abricot, The Popular Children’s magazine in France, Is Now Available for iOS platforms on the Apple Apps Store
Levallois-Perret, August 27, in the year of our Lord
2012 – Chocolapps, the leader in France for kids
edutainment applications, announces today that the application
Abricot vol.2 is now available from the Apple Apps Store. This
is the second application based on a partnership with Fleurus
Presse, a leader in children’s publishing including the popular
Abricot magazine for children ages 2 to 5 years old.
More than a mere digital version of the paper magazine,
Chocolapps recreates the entire content of the magazine, adding
animations, games and their unique approach to designing
children’s apps, and translating it into seven languages in one
application. Each issue of the Abricot application offers new
activities and interactive stories encouraging children to
laugh, discover, observe and imitate to develop their
imaginations.
In Abricot Volume 2, children will discover new stories and new
games, including:
"Bunny in Paris": In this interactive story, children will
engage with almost every feature of the environment, including
touching the screen to recording their own voice to replace the
app’s voice. In Bunny in Paris, Bunny discovers Paris in a
hot-air balloon. Children join in Bunny’s adventure by taking
photos of iconic Parisian landmarks. Once he returns home, Bunny
and the child learn all about the monuments through a series of
short explanations.
"The Canteen": Children discover the atmosphere and vocabulary
of the school cafeteria. Each background element and character
are named and written. A mini-game allows children find the
characters and their faces. They can choose their meal
consisting of a starter, a main course and dessert, by selecting
dishes from a menu. Right and wrong answers are signaled, and
the menu is displayed in the cafeteria.
"Hide-and-Seek": In an imaginary medieval environment filled up
of dragons, knights and fairies, children must find 10
characters in animated scene.
Two-Voice Stories: In this activity, there are two unique ways
can engage with the story. In the "Discover the Story" part, the
child can touch the pictures and hear the words and also listen
to the whole story being read to them. They can also mix the
pictures around and place them in whatever order they wish, and
then listen to their new customized story. Abricot Volume 2
offers two two-voice stories: "Musician animals" & "Under the
Sea".
"Dominos": In this game, Children replace the missing dominos
through matching pictures.
The iPad version of Abricot Volume 2 application is available
now on the App Store at an introductory price of $1.99.
