    Wikids apps feature carefully crafted text and friendly narration, along with images
and sounds, offering curious kids who want to explore independently a fascinating way to
broaden their horizons. Each Wikids app contains 120 entries in 5 categories, written from
the point of view of the child and presented in a captivating fashion. Wikids: Animals,
Nature, Countries, Landmarks and Food
[https://itunes.apple.com/app/wikids-animals-nature-countries/id903091915?ls=1&mt=8 ] and
Wikids: Space, The Human Body, Musical Instruments, Occupations and Transportation
[https://itunes.apple.com/app/wikids-space-human-body-musical/id916547789?mt=8 ] will take
your kids on a journey through an exciting range of topics.

    Wikids entries are written with the belief that almost anything can be explained to
young kids in about 80 words (30 seconds narrated). Designed for independent discovery,
Wikids apps present knowledge in context, with interrelated entries allowing your child to
freely explore different topics. Wikids apps are 100% child safe, contain no ads, links or
distractions whatsoever, and have been certified by the kidSAFE
[http://www.kidsafeseal.com/certifiedproducts/wikids_animals_app.html ] Seal Program and
Momswithapps [https://www.momswithapps.com/wiki-kids ].

    Inbal Miron-Bershteyn, Co-founder of Wiki-Kids, says, "As a mom of 3 curious kids who
are constantly asking about everything, I was searching for an app that satisfies their
thirst for knowledge in a really meaningful way, and doesn't just focus on acquiring basic
skills such as literacy and numeracy."

    "With safe, fun and enriching content on a range of topics, Wikids is perfect for kids
who can recognize letters or are just starting to learn to read, but we found that even
older kids just love it!"

    Wikids apps treat kids as intelligent, receptive and mindful little people. Inbal
adds, "The biggest reward is seeing their faces light up each time they discover something
new; imagine your kids' reaction when they learn that grasshoppers hear from their belly!"

    Wikids apps are available for download on the Apple App Store
[https://itunes.apple.com/artist/wiki-kids/id903091918 ].
