In the app, children can immerse themselves in the lovingly designed world of snippets. Together with Kikaninchen they go on exciting tours of discovery and design snippets on the farm, invent adventurous vehicles and try them out or watch their favorite programs from the KiKANiNCHEN television program.
The app does not see itself as a game, but rather as a versatile toy and companion: playful discovery and trying out, stimulating and fun games without time pressure, creative design, and making music are in the foreground. An app that grows with the child and that the child can grow on - without ads or content that scares preschoolers or overwhelms them.
The KiKANiNCHEN app is an offer for app beginners, which is based on the level of development and the needs of young media beginners. The offer was developed in close cooperation with media educators in order to offer children a safe space in which they can gain their first experience of using apps. The app's text-free and easy-to-use controls are ideal for preschoolers aged three and up.
There is a lot to discover:
- 4 games,
- 6 mini-games,
- target group-specific and changing video offerings from the public television offerings of ARD, ZDF and KiKA,
- lovingly and variedly designed worlds: underwater, in space, in the forest, on a treasure island, on a pirate ship etc.
This is what the app offers:
- multi-sensory control via touch, blow, clap, shake, and singing,
- it is free of charge, without in-app purchases or other advertising offers,
- download function of videos for offline use,
- personalization options,
- birthday surprises,
- annual and daily adjustments,
- the creation of up to five profiles,
- childproof app alarm clock to limit usage time,

The (media) educational background:

- Promoting creativity through explorative experimentation, research and design,
- Games and fun without being overwhelmed or under time pressure,
- Conveying self-confidence in one's own actions,
- Promoting media skills,
- Training attention and the ability to concentrate.
