KiKANiNCHEN-App

In the app, children can immerse themselves in the lovingly crafted world of snippets. Together with Kikaninchen they go on exciting explorations and make schnippeltiere in the farm, invent adventurous vehicles and try them out or watch their favorite programs from the KiKANiNCHEN TV program.

The app is not intended as a game, but rather as a versatile toy and companion: playful discovery and trial, stimulating and fun games without time pressure, creative design and music making are in the foreground. An app that grows with the child and allows the child to grow - without ads or content that scare or overwhelm preschool children.

The KiKANiNCHEN app is an offer for newcomers to the app, which is based on the development status and needs of young media beginners. In close collaboration with media educators, the offer was developed to provide children with a sheltered space where they can gain their first experience in using apps. The text-free and easy control of the app is ideal for preschool children over the age of three years.


There is a lot to discover:

- 4 games,
- 6 mini games,
- Targeted and changing video offerings from the public television offer of ARD, ZDF and KiKA,
- lovingly and diversely designed worlds: under water, in space, in the forest, on a treasure island, on a pirate ship etc.


This is what the app offers:

- multisensory control over touch, blowing, clapping, shaking and singing,
- It's free, with no in-app purchases or other promotional offers,
- Download feature of videos for offline use,
- personalization options,
- birthday surprises,
