The Skogsmulle Kingdom app
Outdoor life meets the digital world. Meet Skogsmulle and his friends in 3D, in an app that has been specially developed for the Skogsmulle Kingdom on Billingen. The app (‘Skogsmulleriket på Billingen’) allows you to follow Skogsmulle on his adventures in the Skogsmulle Kingdom around Lake Åsbotorpsjön.
There are signs and scanning symbols along the path around the lake. Scan the symbols and listen to the character who appears. This is a fun adventure with Skogsmulle and his friends for all ages.
The app is adapted for children aged 3-12 and people with functional variations. Using image symbols from Widgit Go, a tool for communication, language development and cognitive support, the app can also be used by non-Swedish speakers who use the image symbols to understand. Under the app settings, you can turn the audio, text and Widgit symbols on and off.
The app can be downloaded from Google Play and the AppStore.
Accessibility and integration
The Skogsmulle Kingdom on Billingen was financed by the Swedish Inheritance Fund and local financial backers. This part of a major investment in nature and outdoor life at Billingen for children and young people with and without functional variations, and from foreign backgrounds.
