Are you looking for an app to keep the youngest ones busy on long journeys or on rainy days? France Télévisions has just launched the Zouzous application on which your children can watch the most famous cartoons for free: Oui-Oui, Petit Ours Brun, Les Pajamasques or Sam le pompier..
Presentation of the Zouzous application
As a child, we all experienced these long moments of boredom in the car or on the train. Now that you are a parent, you are certainly wondering how to occupy your offspring during the school holidays.
Obviously we find on the Google Play Store a plethora of fun and playful software to distract the youngest. But beware, not all apps intended for children are created equal. If your dear blond heads love watching cartoons, France Télévisions has something to satisfy them..
Its Zouzous application offers a wide choice of cartoons specially adapted for toddlers. Your child is therefore not at risk of coming across inappropriate content, as can be the case with other video streaming services. This is a guarantee of security.
Among the many cartoons available on the Zouzous, we find Sam the fireman, Masha and Michka, Oui-Oui, the Triplés, but also Peppa Pig, Tchoupi, Les Pajamasques, Simon or Sid the little scientist. Note that the availability of episodes varies depending on the episodes broadcast on France 4 or France 5 channels..
The Zouzous app also offers bonuses, exclusive content as well as a Quiet Time and Becoming Big playlist for parents. Viewing is completely free and rare thing the application does not contain any advertising. Note that for reasons of broadcasting rights, the programs cannot be viewed outside of France.
Download cartoons to the memory of your smartphone or tablet
We are not going to lie. VOD applications can quickly become a data sink. In order not to exhaust the entire data envelope of your 4G plan, it is recommended to use Wi-Fi rather than the mobile connection of your smartphone.
Problem, your children will certainly want to watch cartoons of their favorite heroes outside the home. Fortunately, the Zouzous application offers a new mode for downloading your favorite episodes.
- Download the Zouzous app on the Play Store
- Connect your smartphone or tablet to your Wi-Fi access
- Click on the Download bubble at the end of the list
- Select one of the videos available offline
Please note that videos downloaded directly from offline mode will be automatically deleted at the start of each month. Unfortunately the Zouzous application does not offer any tools for cleaning up downloads. If you run out of memory you will have to delete your videos manually from the Android configuration menu.
- Open the settings of your smartphone or tablet
- Click on the section Apps and notifications
- Press the button display all applications
- Select the Zouzous
- Click on the storage button then on delete data or on delete storage
The dangers of screens on children
Many parents wonder about the impact of cartoons on younger children. The latest studies published in recent years show that animated films do not harm the awakening of the child.
Please note that this is by no means leaving your cherub alone in front of a tablet for hours to be quiet. As a parent, you need to make sure your little one doesn't get addicted to the smartphone or tablet.
These devices increase physical inactivity and therefore the risk of childhood obesity. Similarly, prolonged exposure to screens can have effects on the cognitive construction of the child. Some experts fear that this will affect children's ability to concentrate.
As always everything is a question of dosage. If you plan to use the Zouzous application, consider setting up the timer function. This will limit the viewing time and control the duration of use of the application.
