Make a Scene: Pets

What it is: an app for creating virtual sticker scenes. 3 sections: 'Around the house', 'Out in the hutch' and 'In the Cage'.

What you do with it: choose the background, drag the stickers from the menu, flip or move them around to create your scene. There are over 100 stickers (animals, food, equipment etc), 13 animated backgrounds and 9 animated foregrounds. Created scenes can be saved and shared.

What we liked: the concept. Nice, simple illustrations. Good selection of stickers with lots of tiny fun details (many stickers are animated). Good educational value (when you grab a sticker the name of the object will be read out). Sounds and sound backgrounds. Ease of use.

What we didn't like: no instructions (it took us some time to figure out how to remove a sticker from our scene). We would like to see an option allowing to resize the stickers manually (they are resized automatically when you move them around). Prominent links to Twitter and Facebook (on the starting screen and in the 'share' menu).
