Pikku Kakkosen Eskari

Pikku Kakkonen's Preschool Educational App is a well-crafted tool developed for young children in collaboration with experts and educators across various disciplines. This application is part of Pikku Kakkonen's suite of digital play services. Aimed at allowing children to explore and learn at their own pace in an engaging and structured manner, it features the beloved character Reppu-Heppu and friends who motivate and guide the child.

The app covers a range of topics pertinent to early childhood education, all thoughtfully designed to be accessible even to non-readers. Updates with fresh content are rolled out regularly, and the current offerings include:
