(NewMediaWire) - July 18, 2014 - Melbourne, Australia - Mosster Studio, a new digital toy company has launched a fascinating new series of highly innovative and interactive children’s music apps. Since launching their startup earlier this year, Mosster’s award-winning creative team has been hard at work designing a series of interactive digital toys that encourage real life learning and interaction beyond the mobile device. Through this, Mosster wants to encourage family time together and promote responsible use of digital technology for children.
“One of the reasons my wife Angela and I started this company, was to develop unique digital apps that get kids moving in different ways and encourage interaction with family members or other children, rather than just sitting down with their heads glued to the screen of their iPads,” says co-owner Daniel Calvo. “We strongly believe that encouraging kids to play outside of the mobile device helps keep them rooted on what’s around them. Real life experiences, like play, teach so many things without the need for an educational setting, and we want to offer those kind of experiences through Mosster’s toys.”
PanPaTan from Mosster features four giant musical siblings visiting a city together and bringing harmonious fun to unique places. These characters explore magical places throughout the city and turn everything they can find into instruments that play a happy tune! This app encourages children to explore and use the iPad device in varying ways aside from the basic clicks and scrolls. The characters are each controlled by a different person around the device and all perform their part of the song at the same time. By using the four sides of the device in different ways, PanPaTan brings kids and adults together, encourages sharing and creates a more in-depth experience based on multi-player interaction.
In Tachin Tachan, kids are introduced to a quirky group of musicians and motivated to explore musical sounds and create melodic compilations by using the iPhones and iPads in different ways. Each of the five characters are selected to play a separate instrument with help from your child when he shakes, turns, touches, blows or claps the device. This app is built to work best on the iPhone and iTouch as it allows kids the ability and freedom to get more physical with the device when say, shaking a unique note with Little Maraca or blowing into the microphone to create musical bubbles from Quirky Bird! Another intriguing feature of this app is the ability to play along with others and combine your sounds together to complete an original song!
A free version of Tachin Tachan, Tachin Mini gives kids and their parents a glimpse inside this fascinating musical world by way of a spinning top named Mr. Moustache. Enjoy exploring this realm with a musician from the Tachin Tachan band who has agreed to come on his own to showcase his talents for kids and parents too!
Another free app designed with toddlers in mind, PanPaShake is played to the tune of the popular children’s lullaby “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” In this app, children play one note at a time by shaking the device, allowing them to control the speed and the instruments that play within the song, as it plays just like a real music box!
