The Grover's Number Special App from Sesame Workshop and Ideo

— November 20, 2009 — Life-Stages
The people behind Sesame Street, Sesame Workshop, and creative design firm IDEO have joined forces to develop their first children’s iPhone/iPod touch application, the ‘Grover’s Number Special’ app.

The Grover’s Number Special app is a game featuring the Sesame Street waiter character Grover. In the game, he asks kids to help him prepare a lunch in the kitchen by catching and couting ingredients. It’s all very cute, but how many many Sesame-Street-aged kids out there have their own iPhones and iPod touches, anyway?
