Papumba helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Flexibility: Trying something new. 

Papumba

Papumba adds new activities and games to its app every week, so there is always something new to try. For users who struggle with choosing new things to do, this can be the perfect way to introduce some flexibility practice into their day. The user can try new topics or new activities and still find a wide variety of options to choose from. Encouraging the user to try something new at least once a day will ensure that this skill is practiced and reinforced every time they open the app. 

Planning: Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Papumba

Many of the activities in Papumba require that the user think ahead about what they are going to do. For example, there is an activity where the user chooses clothing appropriate for a certain type of weather. The user opens the door, looks outside, and makes a plan for how to dress the character based on what they observe. If the plan is successful, the character will run outside and play. If they did not plan and chose random clothing, their character will not want to play and will return inside to change clothing. Other academic activities such letter writing require the user to plan out how they will draw the letters. These planning activities are fairly low-stakes and appropriate for young children as an early entry into practicing this skill.

    I recently played the cutest game ever! It was just incredibly adorable and fun. I learned so many new things while playing it. The cute factor made me really emotional, almost to the point of tears. I can't get over how cute it was, am I right?

    This game costs 3,600,000 units and I can't afford that for my child. It's not good.

    The app is made for little ones and it nice to help them know things and play. My boy liked it a lot and I think other parents with young kids should try it too.

    My little nieces absolutely love Papumba Academy! They are captivated by the vibrant colors, engaging sounds, and interactive learning activities. It's such a great combination of fun and education all rolled into one. I think it's the best educational app I've come across for pre-K kids.

    The games are great! However, the app has been taking money without warning even though I turned off auto-renewal.

    You got this app for my little one but ended up deleting it. I thought it would be free since it's meant to teach children about bullying, but it turns out it's not. I found that really disappointing.

    This app is really great, but it would be even better if it could work with the s-pen on my son's Samsung tablet or my phone when drawing letters and numbers. Please think about adding this feature to your app and I will continue my subscription. Otherwise, I'll have to say goodbye!

    It's frustrating when I want to buy something in an app for my child, but I can't because of Google Family Link. They don't let managed accounts (kids under 13) use the family payment method to subscribe. It's really annoying.

    This app is awesome for kids, I love it! However, I couldn't give it a perfect rating because we faced a few small issues while using it. The kids had to close and reopen the app sometimes because of these bugs.
