#5apps: definitely “check out” these library apps

By Emily On July 1, 2014 · Add Comment

We have a very contentious relationship with our local library. The kids love to go, and I love to take them, but inevitably we leave with armfuls of books that somehow never get returned on time. Oh – and then there was the infamous Page Ripping Incident of ’13; the library just added a new kids’ section that I believe was entirely funded by late fees and damaged book payouts from yours truly. For the days when you just don’t want to see your face on a wanted poster behind the checkout desk, “check out” these kids’ library apps (bonus – the pages don’t rip): FarFaria: Downloading this app is free and a monthly subscription is $4, giving kiddos access to over 700 stories with 5 new books added weekly – all which can be accessed if you’re offline. The app is geared for young readers ages [...]

Dinosaur Mix – get prehistoric with this fun app

By Emily On June 27, 2014 · Add Comment

Recently my kids became re-obsessed with dinosaurs. This is not unfamiliar territory; throughout their preschool years they have covered this obsession several times over until they move on to something much more interesting, like trains or barnyard animals. Now, though, they’re both now old enough to start to learn about the actual science of dinosaurs instead of just laughing at jokes about how hard it must be to use the bathroom with little T-Rex arms and have asked some seriously mature questions (the word “species” was thrown around at some point, I was impressed). While new Cowly Owl app Dinosaur Mix isn’t exactly Jurassic Park revisited, it is a spectacular jumping-off point to begin off-screen discussions about dinosaurs. Featuring touch-and-play mechanics, no written instructions, and just plain fun (and funny!) artwork and sounds, Dinosaur Mix can be used as a versatile learning tool or just a fun game [...]

Duckie Deck With Teeth: Take a bite out of this app!

By Emily On June 23, 2014 · Add Comment

Hey, does your kid have teeth? Then you’ll definitely want to check out this newest app from one of our favorite developers, Duckie Deck. Heck – come to think of it, even kiddos without chompers will really love Duckie Deck With Teeth! Known for intuitive, all-ages apps that appeal to even the youngest of iPad players, Duckie Deck has just released a very simple but important app to help parents teach kids about the importance of oral health. Once again the folks at Duckie have produced an on-screen platform to spurn healthy off-screen discussions about learning to brush teeth and staying healthy. Game play is simple enough: little ones easily tap the screen to choose a mouthful of teeth. Then the mouth eats healthy foods (and an occasional cookie) and the plaque on the teeth builds up. When the mouth is dirty a toothbrush appears, and dragging [...]

#5apps: educational apps that feature popular children’s TV and movie characters

By Emily On June 18, 2014 · Add Comment

I’ve noticed with my own children that apps with recognizable TV & movie characters are much more frequently played (and for longer) than some apps that don’t feature childhood favorites. While Disney apps will pretty much always win in our house over anything else, there are also a ton of really great educational apps that draw on the relatability of popular (non-Disney) children’s programming to engage kiddos and keep them interested in learning. Here’s a list of 5 educational apps that feature popular children’s TV and movie characters (all of which are currently on our family iPad): Care Bears: Wish Upon A Cloud Developers at Budge Studios know how to take a beloved kiddie icon and turn it into an app that encourages creativity and open-ended play, and teaches kiddos about grooming, feeding, and getting dressed. Although the Care Bears have been through many transformations over the years, [...]
