(PR.co.nz) The WotWots www.wotwots.com has today released a top new app for kids, “Pocket SpottyWot”, a fun and interactive exploration experience suitable for iPhone and iPad use and is now available on iTunes globally, http://itunes.apple.com/app/id487949544, for an affordable $0.99 USD.

Sure to be one of the best apps available for entertaining toddlers, “Pocket SpottyWot” is a unique application that allows for SpottyWot to be tickled and poked, encouraged to speak and even spun around in his hover chair for squeals of fun. For quieter moments and to encourage rest, kids can also pet SpottyWot to help him go to sleep.

Staying true to the brand’s fundamentals of delighting in discovery and celebrating the diversity of life on the planet, giving it an element of an educational application, the “Pocket SpottyWot” application encourages preschoolers to find and learn more about animals including giraffes, crocodiles, elephants and more in the Sneak-a-Peek viewfinder.
