Developer Duck Duck Moose hopes to capitalise on kids’ interest in drawing, sharing and watching videos, but with educational intent

Children’s app developer Duck Duck Moose has launched a new app that aims to blend the creative features of apps like Instagram and Snapchat with the educational resources on YouTube.

WonderBox has been released as a free app for iOS devices, with Android to follow. The company is targeting parents as well as children in what it’s pitching as a safe space for families to create and share ideas.
