KiKANiNCHEN-App

In the app, children can immerse themselves in the lovingly designed snippet world. Together with Kikaninchen, they go on exciting exploration tours and design cut-out animals on the farm, invent adventurous vehicles and try them out or watch their favorite shows from the KiKANiNCHEN television program.

The app is not seen as a game, but rather as a versatile toy and companion: the focus is on playful discovery and testing, stimulating and fun games without time pressure, creative design and making music. An app that grows with the child and that the child can grow with - without advertising or content that scares or overwhelms preschoolers.

The KiKANiNCHEN app is an offer for app beginners that is based on the level of development and needs of young media beginners. The offer was developed in close collaboration with media educators to offer children a protected space in which they can gain their first experience of using apps.
