Press Release: Jolly Giraffe Launches Teddy's World, All New Educational App for iOS with Unique & Creative Interactive Stories for Kids

3 October, 2017 Cambridge, UK – Jolly Giraffe, the UK based developer’s studio, launches Teddy’s World, an educational app with creative and original interactive stories for youngsters aged 1+.

The app is based around Teddy, a cute little bear that is ready to take on the world and experience amazingly entertaining adventures that kids love. The app currently features 6 amazing educational stories that are both visually attractive for the child and get the attention of the child easier, and useful for their listening and observation skills. All story sequences are simple and easy to follow.

“We think that the educational apps for kids need to tell a story, and that is the main goal of Teddy’s World. We want the kids seeing and consuming the app to experience these illustrations like a story that awakes their imagination and enhances their observation skills. To craft the perfect app we worked with certified cognitive psychologists,” stated Raphaella Sefaty from Jolly Giraffe.

Teddy’s World also focuses on strengthening kid’s visual perception, improves eye-hand coordination and develops logical thinking and reasoning. The interactive education app is available in 4 different languages including: English, Spanish, Chinese and Hebrew.

“From the start we knew that Teddy’s World needs to be available on languages other than English. We feel that these amusing, yet so educational and useful interactive stories will have the same great benefit, no matter the language. We would be really happy if our app is part of the kids growing and learning process anywhere in the world”, added Mrs. Sefaty.

Teddy’s World features unique artwork, high quality graphics and sound effects. The interactive educational app is available for free on the App Store. It supports both iPhone and iPad.
