What we like

  • No goals or scores, so kids set their own pace

Toca Boca World is a sandbox. You move characters between homes, shops, schools and other places, and you can change how they look, what they hold and what they do. You make the story yourself by tapping and dragging.

There are no levels, timers or fail states. That makes it friendly for young kids, and the free version includes enough to start playing. More locations and extras can be bought in the app.

It works best for children who like pretend play, and it can be fun for older kids who like to build scenes. Parents should be aware of the store before handing over the device.
