Daniel Tiger’s Grr-ific Feelings
Daniel Tiger’s Grrific Feelings provides an environment in which kids can learn about different types of feelings while playing and singing with Daniel Tiger. Our kid testers loved the trolley game in which children navigate the trolley to 12 different games. Each game has a specific feeling to complete an activity around such as feeling frustrated and having to find a lost toy, or feeling happy and making Daniel Tiger dance. There is also a sing along section where kids can sing about feelings with Daniel Tiger, as well as a drawing area that includes paint, crayons and stickers. This app provides an age-appropriate way to explore different types of feelings with children ages 3-5 and is a great way to start conversations with your children about feelings. The app is $2.99 and available for iPad.
