Abstract
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.
