More about Jamaroos by Iggy Learning

We originally created the 26 Jamaroos Jungle friends to teach language skills and social skills to students in our Reading Friends preschool, which is known for its Alphabet Phonics Curriculum. Based on our success using the Jamaroos characters and their stories in the classroom, we developed apps in order to provide a fun, interactive, and entertaining learning experience for children everywhere. We wished to provide the highest quality design and production, so we partnered with the founder of Reel FX, a leading animation studio with experience creating children’s entertainment, to bring the Jamaroos characters and stories to life with original graphics, rich animation, and an interactive design that rewards every touch.
