As we live in an age where technology is so integral to our lives, it’s great to see preschool products which promote a safe and healthy early relationship with technology. Zappie does just that and is sure to entertain and amaze preschool children by bringing their walls, furniture and clothes to life. It’s an interactive collection of wall stickers, gift cards, heat transfers (for ironing on t-shirts, pillow cases, curtains and more) and individual stickers for decorating your child’s chest of drawers, notepads, and anywhere else they fancy sprucing up. Simply scanning specific images through the free Zappie app will launch a bright and colorful video of a nursery rhyme on your smart enabled device.
Zappie is an innovative new concept which uses augmented reality technology to bring children’s pictures, characters and images to life, for the purposes of learning, development and play Zappie
The various products available from Zappie are based around 8 well-loved nursery rhymes.
We were sent the Old Macdonald wall stickers and a selection of other little stickers to try. The stickers were very easy to apply making it easy for tiny fingers to give you a hand. They also peel off easily so won’t mark up your walls.
The app was very easy to download to Craig’s iPhone and looks really engaging for little people - lots of colours and noise! The videos are great too - with moving animation from original artwork that matches the stickers, and melodies using real instruments. I’m not sure Dexter fully understood the relationship between the stickers and the app, but he was happy enough clutching daddy’s iPhone and watching the video.
I was also pleased to discover, you don’t need one of each of the sticker collections to unlock all of the nursery rhymes on the app. Although the tractor is the ‘key image’ needed to get access to Old Macdonald, you can also just click into each of the other nursery rhymes from the home screen in the app. Although this is great from a value for money stance, the app would perhaps be better if there were several key images in each of the collections to unlock all the nursery rhymes. This would give your child more to do and stretch the potential of the app further.
All in all, I love the concept of these stickers. Anything that promotes the early discovery of technology is a positive thing in my opinion. The idea of Zappie is to familiarise your children with technology and fire their imaginations. Allowing them to use your iPhone or iPad themselves to scan in the QR code promotes hand-eye coordination, attention to detail, problem solving skills and much more. The videos on the app are also great quality, and the stickers look fab on Dexie’s wall.
You can find out more on the website at www.zappie.com and watch videos of the stickers in action on YouTube, and don’t be scared to say hello or ask questions on Facebook and Twitter - they’re a very friendly bunch!

Not technically a nursery rhyme but my little one currently loves “A Froggy Went A Courtin’” - I think it is the country voices that he likes!
