Description

The 'Daniel Tiger's Stop & Go Potty' app, developed by Schell Games for PBS Kids and The Fred Rogers Company, is a fun yet educational tool designed to help children learn about bathroom routines. The app features popular characters from the PBS Kids series, ‘Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood’ that assist kids to recognise their bathroom needs and act accordingly. On their exciting adventures, children don’t just play, but they also learn important skills, like when they need to stop playing because it's time to use the bathroom.

This app has been acclaimed with a 'Parents' Choice Silver Honor', 'Tech for Kids - Best Pick App', and ‘Children's Technology Review - Editor's Choice’. The application provides valuable lessons about independence and self-control to children. With activities like helping Daniel at the potty and sink or playing with Katerina at the water wall, children practice bathroom routines, learn about cleanliness, and gain awareness about their body.

How To Play

• The interactive game-play involves assisting Daniel Tiger and his friend Katerina Kittycat with their toilet routines. Kids learn to interrupt their play to use the bathroom and then return to their activities, which promotes healthy bathroom habits and self-awareness.
• Children can engage in different activities with characters. For instance, they can build blocks with Daniel. When Daniel starts wiggling, they have to help him stop playing and go to the potty, illustrating the importance of taking bathroom breaks.
• Playing with Katerina at the water wall also serves a purpose. Here, children control where the water flows, paralleling how they're working on controlling their own bathroom needs. It subtly teaches kids about self-control, especially about stopping and going potty.
• Activities with Baby Margaret like stacking rings and changing her diaper can also play a part in the children's learning process. These activities make the app more engaging and foster an understanding of hygiene and responsibility.
• Finally, the app also features four select videos from the award-winning PBS KIDS program, 'Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood'. This offers a bonus entertainment aspect to the application. The app also provides a ‘Learning to Use the Potty’ guide for parents from Fred Rogers which can assist in guiding their children in real life scenarios.
