Evaluation comments:
“The little Yeti character is very cute.”
“Easy to navigate.”
“The app is easy to navigate and provides lots of activities for kids such as drawing, talking about feelings, mindfulness, and more. There are journeys planned out for you with activity points on a zig zag line that you work your way through. The first activity is an introduction to Yeti. It follows with a check in on your feelings, doodling, a snack break, and so on.”
“Yeti’s voice is cute–very childlike.”
“It’s a fun little activity to break up your usual routine.”
“The Yeti app is great in that it records all of your child’s progress and work product, i.e. drawings and answers to questions. There is also a bank of videos on various interesting topics such as why chameleons change colors.”
