Timmy Tickle3.0 - App Store

Timmy Tickle wants to play! Cheer him up with tickling, help him up when he stumbles on his rollerskates and point out the right balloon number so he can learn to count. If you teach him some tunes on his xylophone he'll treat you to a game of fruit or costume snap, and when he gets tired dim the lights so he can get some rest. When you've finished playing you can even colour in his adventures.

Timmy Tickle is designed to be enjoyed together, so get reading and help them complete the task on each page.
