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

The app is not seen as a game, but rather as a versatile toy and companion. It focuses on playful discovery and testing, offering stimulating and fun games without time pressure, creative design, and musical activities. This app grows with the child, providing a nurturing environment free from advertising or content that might scare or overwhelm preschoolers.

The KiKANiNCHEN app is tailored for young media beginners, developed in close collaboration with media educators to offer a safe space for children to gain their first experiences with apps. The text-free and easy-to-use interface is perfect for preschool children aged three and over.

There is plenty to discover:

• 4 games,
• 6 mini-games,
• age-specific and rotating video content from public television offerings of ARD, ZDF, and KiKA,
• lovingly and variably designed worlds such as underwater, space, forests, treasure islands, pirate ships, and more.
