Shoonya Jungle Animal Genie

Just like Shoonya Farm Animals, Shoonya Jungle Animals offers an interactive experience for children to view animals as their friends, enjoy them as pets, and delight in dressing them up as they do themselves while learning the names of fifteen jungle animals in nine different languages: English, Spanish, German, Arabic, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Telugu, and Gujarati.

Each animal name is introduced in a full sentence, along with vocabulary words describing outfits and landscapes. Designed to spark imagination as children dress up the animals with clothing, textiles, and designs sourced from around the world. Created and tested in classrooms to enhance fine motor skills by expanding and rotating the clothing and accessories.
