Sago Mini Friends

Great as a child's first app (ages 2 and 3), these nine simple mini-games are perfect for the younger child. They're organized around five animals, each with a home. You touch the door to ring the doorbell where you discover one of the games, which happen randomly. The games are organized around play-date themes, including pounding nails, eating, washing dishes, dressing up, blowing up (and popping) balloons) and unwrapping presents. This app can be used along, however, the multi-touch design that often features two animal characters on each screen makes this a phenomenal app for two people to share; with distinct jobs for each child. It's also a good app for a parent or caregiver to share with a child; promoting co-play. A fun "Easter egg" like feature: If you hold two fingers on the screen as you enter one of the houses, you launch the dress up game. Three fingers launches the birthday activity with the balloons. This is the 10th app in the Sago Mini series.
