Shape Shuffle – A Shape Saga takes that puzzle fun to another dimension (or two?) by adding depth and color to the puzzles. One has a target pattern that needs […] -
Cargo Bot – introduction to algorithmic thinking.
Posted on May 29, 2012 | No CommentsCargo Bot is a great little game that has generated some buzz because it was developed entirely on the iPad. We’ll be looking into that development environment and how it might be useful for a kid to get introduced to programming later on. For now, […] -
Draw Something – fun family app – pictionary with a bit of spelling
Posted on March 14, 2012 | No CommentsIt’s been a while since an app has really truly captured the whole family – and I’m not just talking about the kid. There have been apps that the kid and his dad have enjoyed, the kid and his aunt have enjoyed, etc. but one […] -
Wild Chords – learn to play a real guitar with this fun app

Into the Snow – more interactive than book, but fun anyway!

We Theives – Cute problem solver, though maybe a little dark.
Posted on April 8, 2011 | No CommentsThese guys are cute, no doubt about it. But the story line is a little strange, with them stealing treasures. Them stealing treasures without the ability to move on their own even – they need to be pushed and prodded through physics (gravity, levers, explosions) […] -
No longer free books …
Posted on March 30, 2011 | 2 CommentsSeems like Yoplait Kids is sponsoring some iStoryTime applications, so their books (normally $.99) were free for a limited time. We enjoyed Peanut Butter Bob more than the Invisible Alligators or Wiener Dog Magnet. Partially because it was an easier story to read – the […] -
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 […]
