Toca Boca Jr
A collection of play activities spanning pretend cooking, block building, nature shaping and dance-making.
Toca Boca Jr gathers several quite different play spaces in one app. In one session a child might cook up an invented meal; in another, shape a landscape or put together a music video.

What kids do
- Experiment with pretend cooking
- Build with blocks
- Shape nature scenes
- Make up dances and music-video scenes
Who it suits
Ages 2–8, according to the developer. That is a broad band, and each activity will probably land differently with a two-year-old than with an eight-year-old.
Notes for parents
Because the activities have little in common with each other, a child who tires of one can switch to something unrelated without leaving the app.
