Description: Animal Sounds for Children is just what it sounds like, it’s an Android app for kids that features all sorts of animal sounds in different environments. Children can touch the different animals to see what sound they make and children will be able to find our what sort of animals live where and something I liked was how they live with us humans as well. The app was developed for the developer’s granddaughters and there are four environments in which to discover new animals.With a good variety of animals on offer, let’s see if your little ones will have something to play.

How it Works: As with other games, you’ll need to download Animal Sounds for Children from the Play Store and then select an environment.
We’ll start with familiar barnyard animals, where you’ll see a group of the usual animals like a Cow and a Pig.
When your little one wants to hear an Animal’s sound, all they need to do is touch the animal and it’ll grow larger to show which animal it is and the sound will play.
There are other environments that kids can take a look as well, which is nice to see and will help them get to grips with a number of different animals. A great introduction to the world of animals is being able to hear what our pets sound like.
Opinion: While basic, Animal Sounds for Children does exactly what it sets out to do; it introduces kids to the sounds animals make. That’s a pretty simple concept for sure, but it’s also great to see in an app like this. Animal Sounds for Children is brutally simple and will let young kids easily make their own selection and just interact with the colorful graphics. Speaking of presentation, the noises are fine, but it would have been good to see higher-resolution assets especially when using a tablet. As simple as it is, Animal Sounds for Children is a great little app for introducing young ones to the type of animals that we interact with and those further afield as well.
