Smart Apps For Kids

Puppet Workshop: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: Make sock (and glove!) puppets with buttons, yarn, felt shapes and more. Creative options for all ages are endless!

Big Kid App of the Year

As Vidal Sassoon personally fuses in Ron's extensions to recreate his glorious mullett for tonight's festivities, it's time to announce another Smarty Award winner. The nominees for our Pg-13 Big Kid App of the year run the gamut from pill bugs to cursing dwarves. And one of our storied nominees remarkably was free this week.

 

Astroloquiz: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: Opens the discussion about personality types by using the 12 signs of the zodiac. It's designed for older kids to use in collaborative settings as well as at home.

Creativium - Paper Theater: Review

 

 

Bottom line: A fairy tale worthy interactive landscape where young children can enjoy a simple interface to create and role-play in. Not much currently offered though with only one scene available.

Paint My Cat: Review

 

 

Bottom line: Colour a cat and see it come to life in this unique virtual pet app that uses augmented reality. Lots to do here for kids of all ages and their parents who post cat memes constantly.

Wombi Treasures: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: a virtual treasure trove of interactivity for the digital world's littlest explorers. Great for independent play.

Kids! - Review

 

 

Bottom line: If you have a child that is mad for puzzles then this app is worth a try since it's free to download with an in-app purchase for additional content. There are, however, much better puzzle options in the App Store.
