The Cat in the Hat Builds That

Do you want a science app?
The Cat in the Hat gives you that with a tap!
Kids play and learn in their backyard,
to see how science is fun, not hard!

Based on the PBS KIDS series, “The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That,” this app introduces pre-k kids to science inquiry and engineering (STEM) concepts through games tailored to their learning progress.

Kids can build bridges, explore friction through slides, sort fun objects and more in fantastical lands along with the Cat in the Hat, Nick and Sally. Not only is it fun, it gives pre-k kids a head-start on education!

As kids play educational games, they earn rewards to decorate their treehouse and backyard. The learning games unlock even more games that let them tinker and explore in their own way.

Includes simple and fun hands-on educational activities that parents and kids can do together, extending the STEM fun to home and everyday materials.
