The Talking Ginger Mobile App

Hi Mummies out there! 

I was surfing the net looking for some educational activities for Elric and came across this mobile app which you may find useful.

The Talking Ginger mobile application. 

You may be familiar with the Talking Tom Cat app. It was very popular for a period of time. In fact, this app is very similar and with a few child friendly features. 

Ginger is a cat... a ginger cat to be exactly.

(yes. bear with my cold jokes! muahahahahah)

The storyline is that it's bedtime and Ginger needs to shower and dry, brush his teeth and go potty. Your child is supposed to help him do that. Each time the child get him read for bed, he unlocks a new piece of Ginger's dreams. 

You can give Ginger a shower!

And you blow him dry!

This is how it looks after blowdry!
 Cute right? hahaha...

 This is the potty section. You are supposed to swipe down the roll of toilet paper as quickly as possible. 

Elric likes this. I'm quite worried that he will do that to our toilet rolls actually. :X 

Finally, you can brush its teeth.

What I especially like is the toothbrush timer. 

It shows Ginger brushing his teeth and there is a 1:30min timer. This will encourage your to brush his teeth thoroughly! So far Elric has been pretty coorporative with brushing his teeth when I on this app, although he did try pressing the (X) button to stop.

So after completing the bedtime routine, he will a 1-2 pieces of the puzzle, showing Ginger's dream! Could this be a mud monster?

:D Just like the Talking Tom Cat, it also repeats everything you say. You can sing and talk, and record into a video. There is also an option for you to share it on your social media platforms. 

You can also tickle and pet Ginger. I kind of prefer Ginger's version as it's not as aggresive. No punching, kicking and fainting like the Tom Cat. Only 'violent' thing you could do it to pinch it's cheeks.

When you pet Ginger.

He's a happy cat...

 Here's when you tickle him!

Pinching him. (hahaha...)

Overall, I like this app a lot. There is even a child mode to prevent you child from recording and sharing the videos. It's a pretty neat function.  

Then again, avoid letting your child use your mobile devices for too long. (sorry but I am naggy.) It's not healthy for children to indulge in electronic devices. I believe this is a useful app if you use it appropriately.

 

Cheers!
