Smart Apps For Kids

Playground 3: ABC Edition – Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A fun little alphabet learning app for kids ages 3-6. Features lots of opportunities to practice recognizing and writing letters. Doesn’t break any new ground, but does feature a yeti. Free lite version available.

The Trip Little Critter GamePak

 

 

A virtual activity workbook just like the ones you used to take on car trips, except more fun. This standalone companion to The Trip Little Critter Adventure Reading app is appropriate for ages 4-7.

Little Genius: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: This app, full of visually-based activities that non-readers can easily interact with and have success at, is perfect for the Little Genius at your house but it doesn't offer anything we haven't seen before.

Sharing with Duckie Deck - Review

 

 

Bottom Line: Terrific and unique app that simulates sharing through six mini-games. Needs to be played with an adult, however, to get the full four-and-half stars worth.

 

 

Smart Fish: Frequent Flyer - Review

  

  

Bottom Line: smart, fun and absolutely the best way to prepare a child for flying. If only air travel with kids actually was this enjoyable.

flippi memo: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: bright colors and a cool multi-player format, doesn't quite make up for this being yet another memo card game with animals.

Ready for Preschool: Animal Words Puzzle Up - Review

 

 

Bottom line: Cute animal pictures, dull app. There isn't enough here to keep even a preschooler interested for more than a few minutes.
