A fun, educational learning app for kids ages 3-8! Learn animal names, find two matching animal halves to make a complete image, or mix them up and invent your own Critteroo that can be named, saved and shared!

Critteroos: Mix. Match. Print. is an imaginative, new learning app for kids! With three ways to play, children can learn the names of a wide variety of animals in several languages, pair one animal half with its matching half to create a complete image, and mix two different animals together to create their very own “Critteroo” that can be named, saved, and shared over 1,000 Critteroo combinations!

Match.

Settings.
There are four settings to customize the playing experience:
