Theatre Tales is an interactive puppet show game designed to be playable by kids as young as pre-school. It’s coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop on April 24, with an easy price tag of $1.49.

“Our parents often read us bedtime stories or showed us pictures in books,” states the store page. “We have recreated this magical world of fairy tales and fables in Theatre Tales.”

Theatre Tales lets young kids play with puppets in classic fairy tale stories, such as Red Riding Hood. It features mini games as well as a free play mode where kids are free to make their own stories with the digital puppets. The controls are designed to be easy and intuitive for younger players.

Theatre Tales is developed by Polish studio Baked Games and published by Ultimate Games on Nintendo Switch. It’s rated E for Everyone. They previously published another kid-friendly game on Switch, Little Shopping. These kids games are also available on mobile devices.
