Cut the Rope – a lot easier to argue the educational merits than Angry Birds.
Posted on March 28, 2011 | 1 CommentOkay – so I’ve tried to say that Angry Birds and its physics engine can be educational, but it was a stretch and I knew it. Cut the Rope, another popular, cute little game has been a lot easier to convince mom of its edutainment […] -
Albert – a truly unique game that captured our attention all weekend.
Posted on March 28, 2011 | No CommentsAlbert is like no other game we’ve seen. Apparently, they’ve created the graphics by cutting out over 1,000 cardboard figures, photographed them, then imported them into the game. It gives the game a very distinct look and feel. The feel in fact, goes beyond just […] -
Strip Designer – make your own comics with style.
Posted on March 27, 2011 | 1 CommentWe’ve used this app a couple of different ways. I showed it to Sal, thinking we could make comic strips, but we got distracted by the joy of putting moustaches on the photos of him. Really. It was kind of addicting. Spiders were a fun […] -
Merriam-Webster Dictionary – voice search capability great for new spellers
Posted on March 23, 2011 | No CommentsMaybe a dictionary doesn’t seem as fun of an app – but I have to say I am so excited that there was a dictionary app that had a voice search. We have a reluctant writer in our house – I’m not going to name […] -
Boxed In – puzzle app for youngsters and adults
Posted on March 21, 2011 | No CommentsThis was one of Sal’s first favorites when I had first gotten my iPhone. I was looking at his top 10 list from when he had just turned 5 and realized I needed to review this gem and needed to get this back on the […] -
Sticker Sudoku – fun intro for kids to logic puzzles
Posted on March 18, 2011 | No CommentsWe’re excited to announce our first app! We’ve been big fans of how intuitive iOS apps are to kids and have been impressed with how quickly they are being adopted in schools. Sal’s school has gotten a set of iPads that are very popular with […] -
Dem Bones – sing along to this classic song. Dancing is optional.
Posted on October 12, 2010 | 1 CommentThis is flat out a silly app. But my son and I argue about the difference between silly and funny and right now, he prefers silly over funny every day of the week. So he enjoys this app. He likes the music. Doesn’t care right […] -
Genikids Orchestra – fun little music box.
Posted on September 16, 2010 | 1 CommentOne of the little dude’s favorite toys as an infant was the Mozart Music Cube. Each side of the cube was an instrument and as you turned each side on, that instrument would start to play its portion of the song. You can have the […] -
Tangrams XL – Free app to master those seven magic shapes
Posted on August 30, 2010 | No CommentsTangrams has been one of the games at Sal’s grandfather’s house that he has been circling. It is a traditional black 7 shaped piece with a booklet of silhouettes that is challenging for any beginner. Typically I think it’s good for a kid to play […] -
Violet – what our child is reading this week.
Posted on July 31, 2010 | 3 CommentsI finally jumped in to get one of the more “interactive” children’s books. Even though the reviews on this book said it wasn’t that interactive, the storyline seemed more in line with a 5 year old than the other options (Alice in Wonderland and The […]
