Smart Apps For Kids

Looking for a seek-and-find game? (See what we did there?) Then Find Marlee and the Diamond Earring is for you!

 

 

Bottom Line: Find Marlee and the Diamond Earring is a traditional seek-and-find game following a dog named Marlee and her many friends all around beaches in the Caribbean. Completing all of the games at every difficulty level will result in the player being rewarded with an eBook that tells the whole story of Marlee and the lost diamond earring.

Kickstarter: Kick your therapy/educational materials into fun!

Have you ever used Kickstarter? It’s a great website for crowdfunding projects. Many people have supported local projects, and there’s a good chance a few of our readers supported Reading Rainbow, as that campaign set a record for 105,857 donors.

But have you ever considered browsing Kickstarter for educational materials? It’s one of the most fun ways for me to acquire therapy materials — and if you are a teacher or therapist, you know how much acquiring goes on!
