Tickety Toc Bubble Time App Review – It’s Always Time For Bubble Time!

By Emily On October 1, 2013 · Add Comment

It’s almost like the folks over at Cupcake Digital have a bug in our house. First they take one of my son’s absolutely favorite shows – Wow Wow Wubbzy! – and turn it into a series of educational apps that adhere to Common Core State Standards. Then they revive the 80s favorite Fraggle Rock with two more edu-apps that also follow CCSS guidelines. Now they’ve gone and done it again. (Not that we’re complaining!) Tickety Toc Bubble Time is the newest release from Cupcake Digital; it’s another app in a rapidly expanding collection that can truly be called educational. The magic is that these apps can also be called fun, and finding the balance between the two is something that many developers have a hard time doing. Tickety Toc Bubble Time draws from the popular animated children’s show Tickety Toc, in which twins Tommy and Tallulah [...]

There are five mini-games that can be played at three difficulty levels that get harder as [...]

I’m a stay-at-home mom and there are some days I just run out of things to do with the kids. The museum is a long ride away, the playground works when the weather’s nice, and there’s only so many Pinterest craft projects I can do in a week. If I’m at a loss, I pull out the pet store card – the kids go nuts and no one notices their noise over the symphony of birds squawking or dogs barking. Inevitably the kids have a million and one questions about the pets we see, and instead of Googling I can now sit down and play Animal Planet Hide & Seek with my kids. Developed by Cupcake Digital and Discovery Communications, this app is brimming with legitimate educational content that’s more fun to play with than a litter of puppies. A “spinning” wheel of different pet accessories [...]
