A little post about a fab app developed by a dear friend.
Hong Kong based Shameeli Sinha in conjunction with her partner Aarti Khanna have unveiled fabulous apps targeting kids aged 2-10 years compatible with, the iphone, ipad and android devices . The idea is to provide them with fun and engaging ways to learn about Indian culture and languages.
``As children become increasingly technology savvy, we feel the best way to
do this is through engaging applications and games, accessible on the web, or
on mobile devices, such as smart-phones and tablet PCs'', they say.
In time for Holi this year, they offer a burst of colours with their new app, Holi with Tamarind Tots. Available in its Lite version for iphone ( sample it here ) The app offers a flavor of the festival of colours allowing kids to celebrate this fun festival on a mobile device.
Kids get to choose their avatar, celebrate Holika dahan with their friends and engage in a colourful frolic with pichkaaris, gubbare and gulal finally finishing off with yummy Indian food too!
The full app for the iphone is available here, and for the ipad here .
Do check out their website here, and their facebook page here.
All the best Shameeli and Aarti!!
