App description

Puppet Pals Directors Cut is a digital story telling App where children can create simple digital puppet shows, using pre-made characters and puppets made from photos.

Reviewers comments

A popular App, with a simple user interface and easy to navigate tools is open-ended and so engagement is up to the child. Children are led through the process of selecting characters, choosing backdrops and then recording a simple animation. When recording the animation children move the characters as puppets on a stage and the App recording voices and movement. The App allows the user to save shows as movies to their camera roll, which can then be emailed or shared through file sharing services. The App does not contain links to these file sharing tools, which means a child can’t accidently share their work from within the App.
