Baby Hazel is the titular and main character in a series of video games designed by India-based Axis Entertainment LTD. The games are designed for younger children.
Hazel is portrayed as a female toddler, with large brown eyes and two tiny pigtails in her blondish hair. She is often shown with her nuclear family (mother, father, and baby brother Matt) and her pets (dog, cat, rabbit, and goldfish) as well as extended family and friends. She has a large smile when happy, but when unhappy is shown with a frown, or with tears when really upset. When a level is completed she is often shown smiling with hearts coming from around her mouth.
The games (usually featuring only 3-4 levels) are designed to teach younger children the importance of acting right and taking care of themselves, as well as games featuring Hazel and her mother baking popular dishes. Since it is a foreign company where English is not a first language, some of the English subtitles are not in proper grammar or use phrases not common to most English speakers.[1] Also, being free games sponsored by ads, technical issues are common.
Notably, Hazel is shown in several games as praying before bedtime or at dinner, an activity not commonly shown in secular games.
