Since the first GFAOTD we posted today, Real KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese Dinner, Not Art, is a U.S. only app, here's a second GFAOTD for all our followers around the world (that can also be downloaded in the U.S.)
Our friends at Digital Storytime rated Treetop Ted 4.25 stars!
If you would like to download Treetop Ted (FREE, iPad) please support Smart Apps for Kids by using this link button:
Ted is a green stick figure with a branched "tree-top" head ... but he can get no peace, not even a minute to enjoy his tea. Bugs in all shapes, sizes and noises make a home on his head, annoying poor Ted and making him feel "itchy, twitchy, scritchy, scratchy." These fun words are great for teaching about onomatopoeia, or words that mimic real sounds.
** Only the app's developer can control when an app is free or not. All apps that we post as Good Free Apps of the Day are verified to be free at the time of this post. We make no guarantees otherwise. **
From iTunes:
Treetop Ted is an interactive story book with rhyme, simple animations and lots of 'T' sounding words. The story has a repetitive style about it which is great for early learners. The words 'itchy, twitchy, scritchy, scratchy' pop out on touch. You will see Treetop Ted's eyes roll around and hear his voice say things like ... "what is that noise?" and "good grief!" Children can choose to listen to the story by touching the words on each page or you can read it to them which is much more fun!
FEATURES INCLUDE:
- Read-to-me function on each page
- Narrated (Australian English)
- Animated images on touch
- Page turn with sound
- Vibrant and colourful illustrations to stimulate young minds
- Character sound effects on touch
- Use of alliteration and repetition to encourage early learning
FRUBEEZ CREATORS HAVE MOVED!! We have moved to New Zealand after 12 enjoyable years living in Australia. We have taken a break from creating any more Frubeez stories due to our relocation that's why we've made our three Frubeez stories free! We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those lovely people who bought our apps when we first launched early last year and to all our customers since who have downloaded them for their children. Your positive feed back is so much appreciated and who knows … maybe we'll be back in the future. Take care.
From the Frubeez Team
All three of the developer's books are free - at least for now. They're great!
