What’s the first thing kids ask for when they come home from school (besides a snack)? Encantos! This new educational app features stories from diverse creators, fused with curriculum-based learning. A “storyteaching” platform, Encantos is designed to meet kiddos exactly where they are in their learning journey. From games to books, songs to Storycast series, there’s no shortage of engaging content for your little one to explore.
Quizzing your kiddo about shapes, numbers, colors and letters doesn’t always get greeted with excitement. But playing games that weave in learning? Those are major crowd-pleasers. Encantos makes learning fun by using stories, entertainment and games to teach. “Break” a piñata and drag the fallen candy (disguised as letters or colors) to the matching bag. Give Benji the elephant a bath by popping bubbles with a certain shape. See how the Monster Math Squad uses their math skills to take on any obstacle that comes their way. There’s even a parent-approved setting that lets children take a selfie to appear in Encantos’ stories.
There’s a Big World Out There
Whether you’re in a bustling city or small town, it’s simple for kids to be transported to faraway places and gain a deeper understanding of our world. With the Tiny Travelers, read fascinating stories about life in India, China, Japan and Puerto Rico. Get immersed in other cultures by crafting Peruvian Spin Drums, Guatemalan Worry Dolls, Chinese Fans, Russian Nesting Dolls and so much more. Discover interesting ways of life, all around the globe. Another great benefit of this app is that many stories are offered in English or Spanish.
Kids Will Be Inspired by the Characters They “Meet”
One of the coolest parts of Encantos’ series is that they feature characters from all walks of life, facing different challenges. Head to Aurora Bay and hang out with Wally the Worried Walrus as he helps kids know they aren’t alone in their worries. Wally shares breath, visualization and communication techniques to manage fears and thrive. (Pro tip: Even parents can benefit from watching Wally!) Another great series is Tyrus’ Kids, which highlights that every voice has a place, anyone can be a leader and achieving your dreams is always possible.
