We received a download code for the new Explore Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood App from PBS Kids so that we could play with and review the app. Opinions of the app are 100% our own.

Andrew is still very much into Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. He chooses to watch it often. Andrew has also played all of the existing Daniel Tiger Apps and he was excited to play this one as well. I downloaded the app and handed him the iPad. He played quietly for about an hour before I collected the iPad from him. Andrew was exploring all over the neighborhood and found so many things to see and do. Here are a few of the features of the app.

Explore Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood features include:

  • Grocery Store – Fill your cart with fruits and vegetables, check out at the cash register and help the Tiger family bag their groceries.
  • Music Shop – Put on a show with lots of different instruments (there’s even a potty to remind kids of their important bathroom routines).
  • Bakery – Decorate a cake, collect baked goods in your basket or find out what’s baking in the oven.
