Visit the African jungle and go star-gazing with Kiwaka

I really wish I'd been introduced to this app two weeks earlier. Just the other day, my daughter was asking questions about the constellations, and while I knew the basics, I found I had to trust my good friend Google to tell us where each constellation got its name, why each shape evoked each picture, and even which stars were where. I wish we'd had Kiwaka to help us out!

Brand new Toca Boca app! Check out our sneak peek for Toca Life: City!

Sometimes it pays to have our amazing app video queen Ellie living in Australia! She's sharing a video today of the brand new Toca Life: City, and it's not even live here in the United States! Can't wait to surprise her in the morning with this fun peek at an app she's sure to love.
