"Care Bears: Sleepy Time Rise and Shine" features seven of the most beloved Care Bears characters and empowers the user to either put the Care Bears to bed or help them start their day! The app is designed for 2- to 5-year-olds who love the Care Bears, but don't love getting ready for bed or getting up. Helping the Care Bears master their bedtime and wake-up routines can help kids master theirs.

PlayDate Digital and AGP recognize the importance of establishing sound bedtime rituals, and by incorporating beloved characters such as the Care Bears into the app, it makes the process even more endearing for children and parents. "We are so excited to partner with American Greetings to bring the beloved Care Bears property to mobile devices everywhere. We believe that kids learn best through play. By having them practice waking the Care Bears and then putting them down for the night, we hope that children will not only establish a healthy sleep routine for their special friends, but also for themselves," said Shaan Kandawalla, Co-Founder, PlayDate Digital. "Bringing our Care Bears to life by making them a special part of this daily ritual is a great way to make learning fun," said Megan Buettner, Vice President of Creative Studios and New Media at AGP. "The Care Bears are relatable and friendly, thereby offsetting anxiety that comes with morning and nighttime transitions. We hope that this activity-based app will become a trusted part of a family's routine." /p>
In "Sleepy Time," the Care Bears are very sleepy after a busy day but need your little cub's help getting to sleep.
