Gameplay
In the game, the player can explore and play in a kindergarten
schoolhouse. The class is taught by Hopsalot the rabbit. The objective
is to play activities and win stars. When the player collects four stars,
they can visit the petting zoo, and take a photo of an animal of their
choice. The photos will appear in their photo album and will play a
short animation when clicked on.

There are three difficulty levels for each activity. The player can also
access a progress report to see how they're doing.
