Pets, farm, wild, birds, bugs and sea: a parent’s tour of LAFC’s 6 animal worlds

LAFC has six animal worlds. Every toddler we know has a favourite, and it is rarely the one you’d guess. Here’s a quick tour — with one idea per world to keep the game going after the screen goes away.

Pets

The gentle start: dogs, cats and the animals they might already know from home. Away from the screen: go on a “who has a pet?” walk and name every dog you meet.

Farm

Cows, pigs, sheep and friends — and the noises that go with them. Away from the screen: a farm sound quiz at bath time. You make the sound, they shout the animal.

Wild

Lions, elephants and the rest of the big names. Away from the screen: walk like each animal down the hallway. Elephant stomps are mandatory.

Birds

From flamingos to hens (who, as every toddler will tell you, are not flamingos). Away from the screen: spot birds from the window and flap like the ones you see.

Bugs and Little Creatures

The surprise favourite in many houses. Away from the screen: a garden or park bug hunt — looking, not touching.

Sea

Fish, whales and creatures with an alarming number of legs. Away from the screen: a bath-time “sea” with whatever floats.

Two ways to play every world

In Learn mode your child picks a favourite from two cards; in Test mode they tap the name they hear. Every name is spoken aloud, in any of 8 languages.
