Songs
The Tiny Souls App includes a playlist of original songs that are catchy and enjoyable to listen to. New songs are added on a monthly basis. The songs focus on positive themes, values and characteristics. The lyrics illustrate practical examples of how children can apply these values into their every-day lives and own lived experiences.

Lyrics, chords, instrumental & questions
When the user plays a song, a pop-up screen appears that displays the option to view lyrics and chords. Users can also switch between hearing the full song with the vocals, or only the instrumental version. The pop-up screen also provides relevant themes explored in the songs, and a list of questions that help guide conversations surrounding the narrative and concepts in the songs.

Themes
There are numerous themes to explore in the app such as cooperation, courage, joyfulness, perseverance and thankfulness. Each theme is explained in the information icon. When you click the icon an explanation of the theme appears in the drop down. The theme also includes a list of songs that feature the theme, a list of Caregiver Resources and Children’s Activities.

Caregiver Resources
The Caregiver Resources feature provides parents, educators and caregivers with a toolbox of guidance and tips on how to model certain behaviors around children; reinforce positive behaviors in children; foster meaningful learning opportunities; nurture a child’s character development; and understanding, navigating, and responding to children’s innate capacities and relevant developmental milestones.

Children’s Activities
The Children’s Activity feature in the Tiny Seeds App hosts an abundance of interactive activities, games, and learning opportunities that foster and reinforce a child’s practical understanding of various themes such as, courage, empathy, cooperation, friendliness, generosity, gentleness, and selflessness.

With the help of the Tiny Seeds App, parents, educators and caregivers can engage their children through hands-on activities and opportunities that foster critical thinking, language development, interpersonal skills, fine and gross motor skills, life skills, social and emotional intelligence, and creative capacities.

* For example, you can foster your child’s resilience and capacity for perseverance by simply observing animals in nature. For instance, how a bird patiently builds a nest, how a spider perseveres when weaving their web, or how a salmon swims upstream against the current to spawn. Tiny Seeds App heightens awareness of special learning moments, triggering meaningful observations and conversations.
