Many of you will recognize the Little Learners brand (check out the logo) and this app is a nice debut, with two terrific books for toddlers and preschoolers: Let's Eat and Let's Play. Beautiful graphics with nice, simple interactivity.
There is an in-app purchase for additional material for $1.99, but it can't be accessed unless the child can read and do math. The two books included are more than enough to recommend the download, even if you don't get the in-app.
** Sorry but if you are reading this, this app has gone back to full price. Please sign up for our Free App Alert so you don't miss any of our free app posts. **
The Taj Mahal of coloring apps, 123 Color HD will help teach your kids numbers, upper and lower case letters, simple and compound shapes and, of course, colors. You can also change the language and have them learn their un, deux, troi et quatres.
Kids are rewarded for completing each coloring picture with a boppy jingle at the end.
Bottom line: A really enjoyable (and lighthearted) interactive scene with lots
going on for the busy firefighters. With a mere tap of a finger, perform
rescues and firefighting feats for hours.
Bottom line: a precious letter learning and loving app that will wiggle, stomp,
and swim its way onto your iDevice. Three areas of learning will get the youngest learners (1-4 years, give or take)
interacting and getting creative with letters all at the same time. Usually $3.99, the app has been reduced to 99 cents for a limited time.
The terrific Sesame Street app Another Monster at the End of This Book ($3.99) has just gone free!
It now has a sponsor video when the app loads, but it's just like one of the sponsor videos that plays before the beginning of the actual show, so kid-friendly. There is a $3.99 in-app to get rid of the sponosor but my kids will have to live with the 10-second delay.
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.
In Build a Ship with Kate and Harry, children build their own ships in five steps and then play with and steer their ships when completed. There are lots of different ship parts to use so it allows for a great deal of creativity.
