The app is the third for Dumb Ways JR after Loopy’s Train Set launched in March and Boffo’s Breakfast in May 2016.
Each of the new apps teaches kids about safety near trains and in the kitchen respectively.
Madcaps Plane is ad free, and kids can play the game without data or Wifi. The app is available in the Apple App Store and will be available on Google Play for Android on September 1.
