Smart Apps For Kids

Nutrition and Healthy Eating by i Learn With - Review

 

 

Bottom Line: a fun and easy way to start introducing your little one to healthy eating. If you have a picky eater on your hands, this would be a great app to try out for Free.

iTooch Middle School: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A quiz-style app that may be useful for parents and teachers, but might not be motivating enough for students. A few areas need improvement, but it's Free to try all seven content strands!

C-Fit Yoga – Classroom Fitness: Review

 

 

Bottom line: well done introduction to yoga and its many benefits for kids. It may require projection to successfully implement it in a classroom setting.

Dr. Panda’s Veggie Garden: Review

 

 

Bottom line: Grow your own virtual veggies without the dirt under your fingernails. Another winner from Dr. Panda, this endless loop of gardening mini-games will keep your small ones occupied for ages. Plus they won't track their muddy boots across your clean kitchen floor.

Luca Lashes and His First Trip to the Dentist: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A nice little story aimed at reducing the fear and trepidation that children can have about new experiences. Aimed at 0-4 year olds but contains a parents' section with tips on kids' dental visits as well.

GazziliWords: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: Introduces youngsters, through a series of interactive games and narrated explanations, to words and concepts that often can't be seen, touched or easily explained.

GazziliWords, the flagship app of the GazziliWorld LLC empire, brings to mind Big Words for Little People, the delightful book by Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Connell. It uses members of the Gazzili Gang to help explain and demonstrate words and actions that defy straightforward pictorial representation.

Good Free App of the Day: Miracle Modus

"It goes ding and you feel better."

This Good Free App of the Day was created by an autistic person to help combat sensory overload. Good for anyone who finds hyponotic rainbow lights and bells soothing and relaxing. My favorite is rain drops.

Although designed for autistic individuals and those affected by sensory processing difficulties, I think this app has the potential to be useful to many more people as a way to both relax and regain focus. It's incredibly customizable so it's easy to play with in order to find the modes that work for you or your child.
