Fill window covers the whole browser window; Full screen covers the whole screen. Inside either one, the page asks before the browser leaves it, the Back button stays on the cards, the Escape key does nothing, and to get out you hold ✕ for 2 seconds. A browser's own shortcuts (closing the tab, switching apps) can't be blocked by a web page: on a phone or tablet, Guided Access (iPhone / iPad) or Screen pinning (Android) locks the device to this page.
Animal sound credits (public domain and CC0 recordings)
Every recording is from Wikimedia Commons and is in the public domain or under CC0, so it is free for anyone to use. We trimmed each one to a few seconds and evened out the volume. Animals without a free recording (cow, tiger, mouse) say their sound with the voice instead.
Animal sounds for kids, with real recordings
Tap through 33 animals: each card shows the animal big, says its name, then plays a real recording of the animal: a dog barking, a cat meowing, a rooster crowing, a lion roaring, an elephant trumpeting, a whale singing and more. Three animals (cow, tiger and mouse) have no free recording we could use, so the voice says their sound ("Moo!") instead. Press Animal sound to hear just the sound again.
What's this? plays the sound and asks "Who says moo? Find the cow!" and your child taps the right animal out of two, three or four.
Questions
- Where do the sounds come from?
- From Wikimedia Commons. Every recording is in the public domain or under CC0, and each one is listed with its author and licence under "Animal sound credits" below the cards. We trimmed them to a few seconds and evened out the volume.
- Can I turn the recordings off?
- Yes: hold ⚙️ Grown-ups for 2 seconds and untick "Play real animal recordings"; the voice then says the sound word ("Woof woof") instead.
- Are there ads?
- No. MES Kids pages are ad-free.
