Dear parents/ guardians, here's a little something that will keep your children occupied for some time.
If you type an animals name into Google (on an iPhone or Android phone) and then scroll down the page and press ‘View in 3D’. It brings up your camera and then 30 seconds later you have a tiger in your house! You can take a photo of your children with them and they can walk around it. 
I've tried a lion, tiger, panda and penguin and I am sure there will be others added to the list over time.
You can  find a:
Lion
Tiger
Cheetah
Shark
Hedgehog
Duck
Emperor penguin
Wolf
Angler fish
Goat
Rottweiler
Snakes
Eagle
Brown bear
Alligator
Horse
Shetland pony
Macaw
Pug
Turtle
Cat
Octopus
Raccoons
Dog
Golden Retriever
Enjoy and send on some pictures with the 'animals' that come to visit you.
