Open up the world-famous Peekaboo Barn, perfect for toddlers.

Inside the little bouncing barn, friendly farm animals are waiting to pop out and surprise your little one. Try and guess who they are; tap the doors to find out! More animals, animations, and sounds than ever.

Work with your child to learn the names of animals and hear the sounds they make. Younger children will love opening the barn doors to find new animal animations, as they learn about cause and effect and become familiar with animal names and sounds. Older children will enjoy guessing animals by sound, then seeing the animal names, which helps develop early literacy skills.

Multiple Language Features:

We started with a childs voice in English. Its her real voice, which some kids really enjoy, but she does say "wabbit" and "wooster." If this is a concern for you, you can switch to any of 12 adult voices; our adult narrators say everything clearly and perfectly, just like the teachers they are. You can try many languages from around the world—or record your own language, or grandmas voice. There are tons of ways to explore the languages of Peekaboo Barn!

Press the Language button on the Options screen to try them out.

—Choose from the built-in narrators: childs voice in young English; adults voice in American English or Spanish.
—World languages also included: Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi, Japanese, Swedish, Dutch, Italian, German, French, Australian, and UK English.
—Record your own voice: We added this feature so parents, children, and visiting relatives and friends can capture their own voices and star in Peekaboo Barn. Now you can record the animal names in your native language--or grandmas voice, or grandpas--and, if youre recording a new language, you can save the appropriate written version too, and both will show up the next time you play. (Please note, we can only support the writing systems that are supported by your device.)

FEATURED BY APPLE
One of the first apps to be released for toddlers, since 2008 Peekaboo Barn has been downloaded over a million times, and played over 100 million times worldwide. It has been a top 20 educational game on the iTunes store nearly every day since its launch, and has been featured by Apple often. It won The Best Toddler App Ever award in 2009, and was named one of the top 50 iPhone apps for kids by Babble.com in 2010 and 2011. It is recommended by The New York Times, MSNBC, USA Today, Wired, Telegraph UK, Ireland’s The Independent, Parents Magazine, and the Washington Post.

Peekaboo Barn was made for you and your toddler by artists and educators, not marketers, robots, or companies repackaging clip art. Our team has backgrounds in cognitive science and child development, and we’ve worked in educational media everywhere from Penguin USA to the Smithsonian Institution. When you could really use a safe distraction--in airports, restaurants, and waiting rooms--or youd like to try something new with your little genius, Peekaboo Barn is the educational, artful solution. Enjoy!

Pros and cons of Peekaboo Barn app for iPhone and iPad

Peekaboo Barn app good for

My 2 & 3 year olds love it and play it over and over until the battery runs out. Best part - "piiiiiiiiiiig!" Would love updates to add more animals or an editor for my kids to record their own voices for the animal names.

My 14 month old girl loves this app. She always finds my phone and brings it to me so that I will start the app for her. After I press start she shakes with excitment and pokes the screen until the barn door opens. She then stares at the images for 3 to 10 seconds and touches the screen for more. The person who developed this app is in tune with their inner child. Please write more apps. My mother who didnt even email before, finally saw the beauty of tech when she saw how thrilled her granddaugther was with Peekaboo Barn. Now mom wants an iphone.

My 14 month old daughter loves this app! She cant get enough of it. What would be cool is if there were more animals... and that there was the option to loop (in other words never ending) instead of it ending at night time. I have to restart the app frequently for her. Other than that, it is spectacular!

My 14 month old niece LOVES this app!! Hours and hours of entertainment. Was well worth the upgrade (more for my own sanity than her entertainment!) My only upgrade suggestion would be the addition of French! She is being taught both languages and this upgrade would be fantastic for her.

UPDATE: THe app developers are great and listened to their customers. A++ Prounciation issue was fixed + more animals! Best it works on iphone & ipad!! Thank you guys keep up the good work. ----------old review-------- Needs more work, I agree with most of reviewers: 1) pronounciation needs to be fixed, so children pick up the right sounds. 2) this game is short lived. Need twice the animals.

I downloaded the Lite version when the little one was fussy and I wanted to distract him while travelling. After a few days, I bought the full app. Its been six months, theyve added three more animals. He still gets excited to play it and is still very interested. He now even says duck and cat when he plays. Hes been playing it since hes been 4 months old. Its that easy to use. Highly recommend :)

Some bad moments

First lets say the app is ok, it just seems to be enough to get by, it needs more animals, it needs a back to the home screen button when your playing it, our daughter likes to swap between 3 languages, and this would help. I was hoping for more, but it doesnt seen to deliver, Ill give you more stars when I see more animals

Doesnt load... Crashes every time I start the app. Complete waste of money.

My 2yr old sin grew tired of this app very very quickly. There is not much to it but clicking on a barn and trying to figure out what animal is inside by the sound. When you click on the barn you see the animal and a child tells you the animal. A few words the child pronounces the words very poorly. All in all, I wasnt impressed at all. Safe your money!

perhaps a 8 month old with good dexterity might enjoy the game

My toddler likes it but there should be more animals , for the price

I wish when they say the animal it was an adult saying it, instead of a baby. I bought this app for my child to learn how to say words/animals and I find when the baby says it you cannot always understand each syllable.
