"Turtle Trek":
Explore the ocean in an underwater adventure in "Turtle Trek." This engaging and educational mobile game teaches children all about nature and fascinating sea creatures. Kids can help a friendly baby turtle navigate through the deep blue sea, while collecting coins and avoiding danger. Players make new friends along their journey and learn all about the animals that share the ocean with sea turtles. "Turtle Trek" is recommended for children age 4 and older.
"Underwater ABCs":
Learning the alphabet is fun with "Underwater ABCs." Preschool kids learn the alphabet and basic writing skills by tracing a pathway of illuminated stars that make up all the letters from A-to-Z. Once a child successfully traces a letter, a playful sea creature whose name begins with the same letter will be revealed right under his or her finger. Learn interesting things about the animals that live in the ocean as parent and child experience preschool learning in a fun new way.
"Stay on the Ice":
"Stay on the Ice" challenges players to help adorable penguins keep their balance. Quick reactions are needed to keep the penguins from slipping and sliding right off the iceberg. The trick is super-fast tapping. Don't let the penguins hit the chilling water. As they get near the edge of the ice, quickly tap your finger to turn those playful friends around and back to safety. This addictively fun game by SeaWorld Kids will be a hit with the whole family.
