This app is a puppet show (movie making) app based on all the characters in Nosy Crow's story apps. Children can choose and design their puppets from the app's database, select background music, make up their own stories and record themselves telling the stories. The app may require adult's aid for the first few times, but once children get used to the editing, they can play with friends. It's great for sharing and getting trained for teamwork, and hence is great to enhance communication and storytelling skills. Speaking, comprehension, and (digital) writing skills are challenged when allowing children to make up and tell their own stories. The app has a free version which contains limited puppets, background, music, etc. to choose from, but the function is the same. This app is also good for training children's editing skills and decision making skills. For example, children need to decide what to put in their show and what to leave out when making the movie.
Other notable themes and features of the app include Art and Design, Fairytales, Imagination, movie making, Music, Singing, Stories, storytelling skills, UK dialect.
