Things are different now. Parents are increasingly relying on educational apps to teach their kids and help them learn about the animal kingdom. These apps are intuitive as well as interactive, bringing a whole new set of dynamics to the learning process. Today, we will look at some of the best Android apps to learn about animals in new and different ways. Let’s begin.
1. Animal Sounds
This is a fun app. Remember how you used to make funny faces while trying to roar like a lion or meow like a cat? We had to rely on television for that and like all kids, we were told not to watch too much of it. Animal Sounds is an education app for your kids to help them learn about animals and the sounds that they make. The UI was kept fairly simple keeping toddlers in mind. Simply select the animal picture that fancies your kiddo’s attention to hear it’s sound. Upon selecting the animal of your choice, you will see a picture of the animal and hear its voice. It will be followed by a short video of the animal, not animated but a real recorded video in motion. You can control the video and auto-next feature which will otherwise move on to the next animal automatically. The app is free to download and is ad-supported. Download Animal Sounds
2. Animals Quiz
Reading names of animals by looking at the picture is not the same as taking a quiz to know how much you really remember. This is why Animal Quiz is a great game for your kids to play. The interface is divided into fish, birds, mammals, and reptiles & amphibians. Choose a category and you get multiple options for the gameplay. You can choose between multiple choice questions, time-based game, flashcards, and also select difficulty level. There is a point system in place which will give your kiddo a competitive feeling, fueling his desire to get it right. There is an option called Table that contains a list of all the animals and birds catalogued in the app. Select anyone to see the pic. The UI is simple, pretty straightforward, and you can reset progress anytime you want. The app is free and ad-supported. Download Animals Quiz

The above Android apps are good to learn about animals in an interactive environment, letting your kids progress at their own pace. But even that can be boring sometimes. Kids are curious by nature about anything and everything and quickly move from one thing to another. This is where Petting Zoo comes into the picture. Not exactly a learning tool but nonetheless an educational app. It comes with handdrawn animals that will move around and do funny actions when interacted with. The background music is fun to listen to. Think of it as an adorable animal app infused with humor for those moments when your kids want to visit the zoo, in their imaginary minds!
