Abstract
With the spread of the Corona epidemic, most kindergartens and schools were closed, partially closed to
others. So, people were prevented from leaving their homes, which led children to be preoccupied with
the electronic world and games more than ever, especially with their stay at home for long periods, as
electronic devices and games are used from increasingly different types and quality to keep kids
entertained. From babies and toddlers to kids and teens, they all use electronic games and apps for hours,
leading to overuse. Besides, these days, children use smartphones, tablets, etc. in schools for educational
purposes. But when they also spend their extra time playing games across these devices, it adds up to
their total screen time of the day.
The idea of our application is to provide entertainment and education for children from two to six years
old, but in ways that are attractive to the child, to encourage him to study and ensure his education and
growth is good even when he is severed from kindergartens and schools. It aims also to maintain his
psychological integrity even with the spread of this epidemic. For the child not to be separated from his
colleagues, the application is „provided with means of communication between them and we supported
the spirit of competition to encourage them to continue. Because the child's health and psychological
safety (well-being) is derived from the safety of parents and their experiences in various topics related to
children, there must be a family aspect in the application that provides a good family ambiance that
supports the psyche of the child and other aspects related to him, so that the family can take the
memorial photo together, save it inside the studio, set up family events and invite people. The
application also provides a full aspect of social media to gain experiences, publish opinions, share them
with others, and communicate with experts or others on the application, if possible, to expand the circle
of knowledge about various matters related to children.
Also, our Wally Sprouts application provides a book reading aspect for parents regarding various
aspects of the child and his healthy upbringing. Parents can participate in designing books for their
children and publishing them on the children's side if the supervisor accepts them. It also provides a map
to locate all educational, entertainment, and health places surrounding the child.
