Clever Monkey came about after a particularly difficult car journey with a 1-year old... Parents will always need a distraction at some point, even if it's just for 5 minutes in an emergency.

 

We wanted something interactive, that would also benefit our daughter's brain development at the same time.

 

After seeing her struggle and get frustrated with the existing apps we found on the app store, it became clear that we needed to make our own!

Informed by Research

Our apps are based on academic research in the field of early-years development. In particular, the concept of "schematic play".

 

Schematic play or exploration is when a child is interested in concepts such as trajectory (movement), enclosure (one thing containing another), positioning (arranging objects), and so on. The connections that are formed in this way are recognised as being key to developing intelligence later in life.
