Many Dutch children are in the car every day. And then there are the many vacations, trips, and visits to grandparents. All fun things, but those rides can get pretty boring in the long run. That in turn leads to irritation in the back seat and before you know it, the atmosphere in the car has changed. A pity, and Volkswagen finds unnecessary, because driving with children can also be fun. The app with interactive Highway Fairytales makes every ride exciting. What would come after the next bend?
“Are we almost there yet? “Usually, kids can't wait for the goal to be reached. But the Highway Fairytales app changes that. Now those journeys may suddenly take quite a bit longer. The fairy tales from the app are much more than an ordinary audio book. They are interactive stories that always respond to the environment in which you drive. Are you going on a long car trip? Don't forget to also take a look at our checklist:everything you need in the car. And, don't forget those fairy tales!
The Highway Fairytales can be downloaded as an app that works on all Dutch highways. These have been re-mapped especially for this purpose, with a focus on elements in the environment. So think of tunnels (caves!), but also of masts, windmills, signs, and so on. Were your children constantly with their noses against a screen? They will soon press that nose against the car window again! And as long as you are not a driver, you can also do so as an adult. Because you can listen to the Highway Fairytales with the whole family via the app. And before you drop out right now; that is no punishment at all for moms and dads.
After all, our imaginations can use a good kick in the you-know-what from time to time. The kids' one is probably already running at full throttle! But with this app, parents and children fantasize and listen together. It's something different than all those games for the road. Below you can read more about using the listening app.
The Highway Fairytales can therefore be downloaded as a (free!) app for both Android and iOS. You then listen to them on the car's operating system. These fairy tales are a lot of fun to listen to, especially because of their interactive character. Because you never know what awaits you in the next tunnel. It's nice to have everyone sympathize with the Highway Fairytales, that might be just as much fun as reading!
Speaking of reading aloud:from January 23 to February 2, the National Reading Days are again. Are you already enjoying the storytelling atmosphere! To warm up the whole family, Volkswagen has developed the interactive app together with the Reading Foundation and renowned children's book authors such as Babette van Veen. Stories that are absolutely read-aloud-proof, only this time mom and dad can just listen in with the Highway Fairytales app without having to read it themselves.
We would say:fasten your belts, and press that accelerator pedal. And they rode happily ever after!
