Homes by Tinybop

Play in faraway places! Wander into four unique homes around the world. Make meals, decorate, and play games. Investigate electricity and utilities, but watch out! Wires spark and toilets bubble. Clean up, or make a mess. Personalize with your own photos and drawings. From NYC to Mongolia, Yemen to Guatemala, make yourself at home. For children ages 4+.

**Winner of a Parents’ Choice Gold Award**

“If all apps were like Tinybop’s, we wouldn’t worry so much about our kids staring at screens. In fact, we might even encourage it.” — Wired

“There are no goals, no ‘levels,’ no rewards. It’s just there to be looked at, explored. I like that.” — NPR’s Robert Krulwich

Homes is the third app in the Explorer’s Library, a series of interactive playscapes that let kids dive deep into big ideas. The first, The Human Body, has reached the #1 spot on the App Store’s education charts in 144 countries. It was also a Children’s Technology Review Editor’s Choice.

App dashboard
A dashboard allows you to follow and delete accounts, change preferences, download handbooks, learn about new updates and apps, and support your kids’ experience in all Tinybop apps.

To create a dashboard, tap the round icon in the lower left corner of your app’s home screen and follow the steps. You’ll only need to do this once, and then you’ll be able to access your dashboard in any Tinybop app on your device.

Support your kids’ learning with our free handbooks — they’re full of interaction hints, interesting facts, and discussion questions. Download The Homes Handbook in 12 languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and French, here: http://tinybop.com/handbooks.
