THOROUGH DESCRIPTION OF THEIR MEDIA HABITS: Animated series are very popular among most kids nowadays. They easily access online platforms in order to consume content, and they would easily watch an animated series rather than a feature film on their platforms.

MEDIUM: Mobile App

WHY IT WORKS IN THIS MEDIUM: It works in this medium because the game we have created can be easily designed in a mobile app.

PLATFORM: Smartphones and Tablets

WHY DOES IT WORK IN THIS PLATFORM: Mobile Apps are a very great platform because little kids are starting to prefer iPads, Tablets and Smartphones to entertain themselves rather than standard coloring books.
