• “Puppet Pals is an amazing app that lets you create animated cartoons.” -David Pogue (NewYork Times)
Children unlock creativity with this easy to use (but hard to put down) interactive puppet show! Even young children can create high quality cartoons from their imaginations. Kids can even star in the show along side the built-in characters!
Teachers: Engage students by allowing them to act out historical events, practice language skills, or deliver a killer book report. The cartoons that kids are making have delighted thousands of teachers and parents around the world - let yours be next to experience this award-winning digital addition to your classroom. The finished projects are easily shared to be watched by others (share via email, Facebook, or simply copy the video file to your computer and distribute how you see fit - Hint: students love to see their work displayed on a classroom blog).
• Create short instructional videos (in any learning area)
• Storytelling, Reports, Historic Retells
• Help reluctant public speakers present to the class
• Help foreign language or ESL students practice their fluency & language skills
• Brainstorming or storyboarding ideas and presentations
Characters chosen from standard curriculum allow kids to fully engage with content - not even realizing they are actually learning valuable lessons that will stay with them for years to come!
Latest reviews of Puppet Pals 2: School Edition app for iPhone and iPad
This app has really cool effects and its good for education, but the fact that it has shown "more backgrounds soon" for about three years, and also the fact that my child worked for about an hour on a little script only for the app to crash and the footage to be destroyed disallows me to give this app any more than two stars... Cmon!
This is a great app. A couple of things I miss from the original Puppet Pals which need to be added to this one: Pausing a recording so characters can be moved or replaced, and the ability to line up different backdrops for new scenes in the same recording.
Please, add ability to edit records. Add ability to move puppets to out of record screen.
I love this app. It is a little hard to work with at first, but youll get used to it. However, it seems you have a lack of creativity that you did have in the first one. Unlike in the 2nd one, you could chose your own backgrounds. You are only limited to about 5 backgrounds. You should also be allowed to create your own body. It did it in the first one, so hopefully theyll add it in the second one eventually.
I got this app because I had the previous one. I cant say enough about both! As a jr high English teacher, the uses for this app are endless. I plan on creating short lesson vids and posting on Edmodo for students to watch! Thanks guys!
