Smart Apps For Kids

Rainbow Train: Teach Colors

 

 

Bottom Line: A solid app, with three basic color games, for $1.99.

 

Good Free App of the Day: Butterflying!

My daughter Lily (4) recently announced to a visiting house guest that she liked to eat butterflies. I'm hoping that was something from her imagination but, just in case, I'm giving her this app, full of non-edible butterflies, to play with.

Today's Good Free App of the Day has been made free for a limited time by one of our page sponsors, Tropisounds! It's a fairly simple but engaging app where kids can add butterflies to pictures and interact with them. They can learn the names of the butterflies and, when the device is shaken, they all fly away!

Mother's Day is right around the corner (May 13), and one of the ways I will be forcing my kids to show some appreciation for their mother is by creating cards for her using the CreateACard app!

Good Free App of the Day: Little Stars - Toddler Games (letters, numbers, shapes, colors, first words)

Every so often in my email I get something like this from Deanne:

"Just updated. Settings are extensive so very easy to customize, has both one and two player modes, sticker rewards are given frequently so great for keeping motivated both toddlers and kids who cant handle too much delayed gratification. Fun space theme."

So, here's today's Good Free App of the Day: Little Stars - Toddler Games! It includes first words and farm animal flashcards, ABC uppercase and lowercase, ABC phonics, counting 1-10, shapes and colors!

Good Free App of the Day: Wee Sing & Learn ABC! (Holy crud, this is free!?)

This app is AWESOME!

We haven't reviewed it yet, but checking it out for this post I think it's a strong 4+ stars, even at its usual price of $2.99...but right now it's free for a limited time!

Bottom Line: There's a lot to like and a ton of potential, but it needs to be put together in a more refined package.
