PBS Kids ScratchJr 2.2.0 for iPad

With PBS KIDS ScratchJr, kids can create their own interactive stories and games through programming games and lessons.

Learn to code through games and activities featuring characters from Odd Squad, Wild Kratts, Nature Cat, Arthur, WordGirl, Peg + Cat, and Ready Jet Go! The storytelling possibilities are endless with this creative coding app for children ages 5-8.

Children can make characters move, jump, dance and sing by snapping together colorful programming blocks. This teaches programming and coding concepts in a way that’s fun and easy to learn.

As kids play, they’ll learn to solve problems, design projects and express themselves creatively on an iPad.
