Check out this fun Halloween app for kids aged 2-5:

https://tocaboca.com/app/toca-boo/

Toca Boo is a fun, new app from Toca Boca that features Bonnie who loves to spook her family. The player helps Bonnie float around the 6 rooms in her house looking for hiding places before other family members come into the room. If she manages to hide in time she will jump out with a great BOO!

There are many hiding places to discover – under tables, behind curtain, under duvets or even in the toilet! Search the rooms but stay away from the light or else you’ll be seen. Rattle things, turn on the kettle and make the characters nervous before you are ready to say BOO!

There are other features to discover, too – turn on the disco music and dance, munch on peppers in the kitchen for an extra hot scare, and enjoy being invisible.
