The app is available for $1.99.
Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood: Play at Home with Daniel is produced by The Fred Rogers Company and Brighton, Mass-based digital developer CloudKid. PBS Kids currently features 19 apps available in the App Store, which encourage kids to learn literacy, math, science and school-readiness skills.
