I’ve been using ScratchJr for a couple months now. It’s basically a coding app that lets little kids (ages 5 and up) create their own interactive stories and games. Basically you snap together these programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and all that. There’s also a paint editor where you can customize the characters and add your own sounds and voices. Pretty cool stuff.
Here’s what you do: you start with a blank scene and choose characters from a library. Then you use the programming blocks to tell those characters what to do. There’s also a feature where you can insert photos of yourself – took me a while to figure that out but it’s a fun way to get your own face in the game. And you can share your creations with other kids using the app.
Look, if you’ve got little ones who are into coding or just making their own games, they’ll probably love this. It’s not perfect – it can get a bit repetitive after a while and the ads can be annoying if you don’t pay. But overall it’s a solid app that does the job. Worth checking out for sure.
