Smart Apps For Kids

Curious George: Curious About Shapes and Colors -- Review

 

 

Bottom line: a cute app for the youngest Curious George lovers, offering practice with sorting by shape and color. Doesn't break any new ground, but does let your little monkey practice necessary skills with a beloved character.

The Nutcracker and the Mystery of the Disappearing Cheese: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: a beautifully animated short film, a narrated retelling of the Christmas classic, 7 preschool learning games, and 6 create a scene play rooms all set to the spellbinding music of Tchaikovsky's ballet.

Good Free App of the Day: Super Monkey Jr - Mini Games

A simple but fun set of 5 games by the makers of the Dr Panda series who have 2 apps in Our Top Picks list. 

Your child works on their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, planning, sorting and counting while doing activities like driving a car, putting out fires and going through a maze.

In the car activity, your child will even learn to avoid crazy drivers who pull out in front of them! (No road rage involved) 

The Tale of the Missing Acorns: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: A novel approach to the old whodunit mystery. Kids read a story and use their wits to follow interactive clues and discover who took Mother Squirrel's acorns.

Happy Little Farmer: Review

 

 

Bottom Line: An appealing hodge-podge of familiar toddler activities centered on a blue jeans clad bunny's farm. It's definitely not lacking in energy and worth a look if pretend farming is of interest.

Bo's Dinnertime and Bo's Bedtime Story both only 99 cents!

Let me begin by saying Tot is a big Bo fan.

She worked out an entire bedtime routine that involved playing Bo's Bedtime Story while holding a small, plastic giraffe who was surprisingly good at taking a bath in the sink but, alas, didn't wear red wellies.

There was also a duck involved.
