I will admit that as an adult I have picked up a Highlights for Children while waiting in a doctor’s office waiting room. I’ll read Goofus & Gallant, check out What’s Wrong on the back cover, and of course look for the Hidden Pictures.
Yes, Highlights does make an app for your iPad, and we found 6 other great hidden picture apps for your children to enjoy.
