Miffy in the Snow

Very young children can enjoy listening to the story, while older children can participate more actively with the interactive features throughout which include sledging over the mountains with Miffy, building a bird house and throwing snowballs at a Snowman. There are also three educational games so little ones can learn as they play including matching pairs, children can also design an e-card to send to friends and family.

I was given the Miffy in the Snow iPad app to review and it is the perfect way to let the children warm up, whilst still playing with snow.

Aimed at pre-schoolers, both Isaac and Eliza enjoyed playing with the app. Isaac enjoyed the story (based on the book) but with added activities such as Miffy sledging home over the hills which required a very eager boy to knock over the snowmen in her way. Eliza liked dressing Miffy up nice and warmly in various coloured clothes. She is now obsessed with yellow boots!!

The story is interjected with things to do – finding a bird hidden in the snow and making a bird house which keeps the little ones interested.

The game section is fun too, matching pairs and even knocking a snowman’s hat off with snowballs.

For slightly older children, they can record themselves reading the story out loud, which is great for their confidence or you can make a recording yourself, so your child hears your voice reading the story instead of the pre-recorded one.
