Science a child can walk into.
Dinosaurs & the deep past
Through a stone time door: T. rex, Triceratops, the giant long-necks, flying reptiles over the sea cliffs and sea reptiles swimming in the cove. Otto stands beside each one to show how big it really was.
Space & the solar system
Blast off from the launch pad and land on the planets and moons, from Mercury to Pluto: how big each is, how long its day and year last, and who has been there.
The Earth & its countries
Spin the globe, or pick a continent and a flag: each country opens onto its animals, famous places, food, festivals and how to say hello.
Science films
Short films that move as they are told, answering what children ask: why the sky is blue, what is inside the Earth, where the dinosaurs went.
Museum halls
Fossils, space, stars and the Earth, plus a hangar of 31 real rockets, rovers and spacesuits with their photographs.
Games
Planet quizzes and space arcade games where nothing can be lost, and missions to complete on Otto’s Big Island.
Meet Otto.
Otto is an otter in an explorer’s vest with a brass magnifier, and he goes everywhere your child goes: to the dinosaurs, to the Moon and to every country on the map.

What is Curious Kids: Earth & Space?
A science app for children aged 4 to 8. In one painted world a child visits the age of the dinosaurs, flies to 21 worlds in the solar system, spins the Earth and opens any of 174 countries, and watches 102 short science films. Otto the otter, a field explorer, guides them, and every word is spoken aloud.
What age is it for?
Ages 4 to 8: preschool, kindergarten and the first years of school. Nothing needs reading; a child chooses everything from pictures.
Is it a good dinosaur app for kids?
It has 68 prehistoric creatures to find: dinosaurs, flying reptiles over the sea cliffs and sea reptiles swimming in the cove. A “How big?” view stands Otto beside each one to true scale, and a field guide fills as they are found.
Does it teach the solar system and space?
Yes. Children blast off and land on 21 worlds, from Mercury to Pluto and the moons between, and see how big each is, how long its day and year are and who has visited. A museum shows 31 real rockets, rovers and spacesuits.
Can my child learn countries and geography?
Yes. A countries page shows every continent and 174 flags; tapping a flag says the country’s name and opens its animals, famous places, food, festivals and how to say hello. On the globe, 800 real things stand where they belong.
Does my child need to read?
No. Every word is spoken aloud by a narrator, and every choice is a picture to tap.
Are there ads or sign-ins?
No ads, no sign-in and no data collected. Settings for grown-ups, including a daily screen-time limit, sit behind a parent gate.
Is this the same app as My First Dinopedia?
Yes. My First Dinopedia grew into Curious Kids: Earth & Space: the dinosaurs are still there, in their own world reached through a time door, alongside space, the Earth and the science films.
