Itsy Bitsy Spider
© 2009 Duck Duck Moose Inc.
Poke the spider to change scenes in this clever adaptation of the classic nursery rhyme. The view pans in movie-like fashion as the spider moves up the water spout, down with the rain, and out with the sun. There's plenty to touch and explore. You can make rain come down from the clouds, splash in the puddles, help a caterpillar become a butterfly or play peek-a-boo with a frog. The fly is the tutor, offering facts about nature and the environment. When he's touched, you hear information on 15 topics, such as Where does the rain come from? and What makes a rainbow? Your child can also count from one to ten as a squirrel builds his house, find hidden eggs on a scavenger hunt, create your own music using eggs that play different notes, stack hats on the spider's head, listen to classical music with violin and cello pizzicato, and record their own singing. This is the second app from Duck Duck Moose, following Wheels on the Bus; and takes the medium a step further, by creating associated events.
