In a world searching for positive change, CrocPond™ engages children and families to live with more courage, confidence, and hope. CrocPond offers top-quality, meaningful content that is trusted by adults – and loved by children.
CrocPond rises above today’s clutter in the children’s market with its 32 meaningful characters each with its own focus, easy-to-remember name, and associated positive life principles. For example, RINDIN the Puffer inspires children to Respect INDIvidual differeNces and helps teach children a lesson: tolerance is good and bullying is bad.
CrocPond’s focus is to bring its extensive suite of characters to life through mobile apps. These Apps provide children with an evolving, lasting experience in a language that speaks to them. CrocPond provides a vocabulary of values for a child’s everyday life.
App inspires children to be creative and recognize the value of tolerance and getting along.
Kids of all ages love RINDIN, CrocPond’s (www.CrocPond.com) animated, googly-eyed, buck-toothed puffer fish whose message of tolerance and friendship has won 18 awards, including Dr. Toys, Sprockets Film Festival, and homeschool.com.
Now, RINDIN the Puffer is taking that same message from his well-loved children's storybook and DVD to his very own App, available through the Apple App Store.
Optimized for all iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch devices), the RINDIN App encourages children to be creative, while helping them recognize the value of tolerance and getting along.
“RINDIN loves making new friends – a special skill that reinforces the importance of being yourself and respecting individual differences in others,” said Nicholas Zaldastani, CEO of CrocPond. “The RINDIN App will entertain children and families of all ages, while helping them to see their peers in a positive new light.”
In the story, Rindin is rejected and then accepted, teaching a lesson of tolerance in a way that kids can understand and enjoy – an approach that has earned praise from parents and educators around the country.
“As an author, researcher and through leader in the field of family engagement and in my role as a school superintendent, please know how much I value the work you are doing,” Steven M. Constantino, Ed.D., Superintendent of Williamsburg-James City County School Division in Williamsburg, VA said in a letter to CrocPond. “RINDIN and the accompanying materials are not only beneficial to students, but will help shape future of our society. I wholeheartedly support and endorse your work at CrocPond!”
The RINDIN App has an introductory price of $4.99 and includes a storybook, an animated movie, and a bonus adventure game, all of which tell the RINDIN story.
Children can enjoy the storybook in three ways: read the story at their own pace, read along with narration by the author, or record and play back their own narration. The movie is a classically-drawn 8-minute short that has won numerous awards, while the bonus underwater adventure game challenges children to help RINDIN make 100 million new friends and put an end to bullying. Children and families can also join RINDIN on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rindin-by-CrocPond/254343601284814).
