Team Umizoomi Carnival | interactive storybook adventure for kids

✔ iPad + iPhone ✔ Android ✔ Kindle Fire | app for children

Do you know the kids series Team Umizoomi? If not, you can update your knowledge on Nick jr. and watch many, many Umizoomi episodes for free. But perhaps your kindergarten and preschool aged kids are already little Umizoomi fans? Well, then we have just the right kids app recommendation for you: The interactive storybook app “Team Umizoomi Carnival” for the iPad and iPhone.

It’s Umi Alarm and Team Umizoomi is not only at the Carnival, but also looking for Jake’s favorite cuddly toy Bunny. The brown stuffed bunny got lost and has last been seen near the merry-go-round. Kids will receive further information throughout the story, if they ask around and solve small logical missions, because they will of course learn a lot of useful things with this kids app. The learning contents are all relevant for kindergarten and preschool.

On this page (screenshot below) for example, kids will need to guide the Umizommis  over, under, and all around.

…or even  building an aircraft in the best manner of tan-gram with shapes from a  blueprint, with which the team can continue the search.

One of the particular strengths of this app includes the numerous animations that help to bring each scene to life and make Umizoomi picture book app, an interactive episode of the children’s series. Part of the animations are played automatically, for others, children need to examine the different scenes further. The circled marking reveals and tells the infants, where there is more to discover.

Multilingual storybook app

Besides the original Umizoomi voices who speak their dialogs, is also a professional narrator, who will read the story out to the children. The text is also highlighted during the reading – a little detail which we always appreciate much, as it is not only beneficial for children who are beginning to read, but it even illustrates to toddlers, that a narrator is reading out and not only talking. There are lots of other languages available:

UK & US English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Dutch and Swedish

Games

This storybook app offers two more activities as an extra for kids, which they will be very happy about. Even with a simple gameplay as “popping balloons”, there is is still a meaningful educational component given for the kindergarten-area, where children get to solve small tasks, e.g. only to hunt the green triangle balloons etc.

Besides the Balloon game is also a sticker-album, where kids can create their very own Carnival scenes and decorate those  landscapes with the Umizoomi characters and objects. Those pictures can be saved in the album. With this game we also have a special feature, all stickers are interactive and not only flat pictures. Sounds, animations and the exact naming of objects via audio response, make this storybook app with this extra activity, even more special.

Team Umizoomi Carnival | kids app rating

Everything that you could say about the Umizoomi kids series, you could also say about this storybook app: multicolored but also bouncy, a little noisy but also instructive. Every now and again we think that the hustle and bustle is a little too much for our taste, however a little hustle and bustle suits the Carnival atmosphere and kids like it anyway.
