What our experts think
Children loved the many surprises they came across as they explored Dr Panda’s school! Almost everything they tapped could be interacted with in some way – from giving objects to the characters, growing food in the garden, to drawing on the blackboard. This is ideal for curious little minds and really gave them the chance to learn about the school environment. It also encourages imaginative play, which is great for creativity.
It would be even better if...
Children had a few problems using this app, in particular at the beginning when they didn’t realise they could swipe to enter the school – they might need to be shown this so they don’t miss the whole game! The navigation is a bit tricky too so children might need some help to start with, but we found once they knew what to do they were fine.
