1 to 25 was sent to me and when I first opened it up I thought oh no, it’s a math puzzle. Prejudice on my part to assume that just because a puzzle involves numbers it’s also going to involve math. Math and I don’t get along very well. At all.  But I decided to [...]

I Can Garden is geared towards children as young as 18 months. The premise is simple. Touch the screen to make sparkly, jeweled flowers grow. You can grow big flowers, small flowers or medium flowers – it’s up to you. Once you’ve got some flowers growing a bee is going to show up. If you [...]

Chippy is a chipmunk who’s trying to rid the world of bubbles. Yes, bubbles.  Tilt your iPhone from side to side to get Chippy to move under a bubble. Tap the screen and he’ll shoot the bubble. But it’s not over. The bubble splits into smaller bubbles and now you’ve got to get Chippy in [...]

I tried this app and quickly knew that I had to ask my kids to do the testing because it’s obviously geared towards them. As a mom who hates loud toys and has a fairly low tolerance for wackiness I knew I wouldn’t give Wacky Safari a fair shake. So I called in my little [...]

Two more memory games from the team at Juicebox Software. They’re the folks behind the Animal Coloring Book and Animal Memory Game apps.  Visit my review of Animal Memory to read my summary of how it works because Fruits & Vegetables and Sweets & Treats works in the very same way. Each game has theme [...]

Animal Guesses is a whole different type of app for your iPhone. It’s something called a “web app”. Have any of you heard of web apps before? I hadn’t but when I asked my husband he knew all about them.  I’m wondering if I’ve been under a rock or if this is one of those [...]

Now this is the type of coloring book app that I like! There’s nothing complicated about it, exactly what you want for young kiddos. You choose a theme – bugs, jungle, farm or ocean – then you choose a picture to color. The pictures are simple without tiny, extra details. Now tap one of the [...]

Beware of this game!!!! If you put Stoneloops on your iPhone you just might find yourself unable to stop playing it. At all. If you’ve ever played Zuma on an Xbox then you’ll have a bit of déjà vu while playing Stoneloops. The two games are very similar. The idea behind Stoneloops is to shoot [...]

Hog Bay Letters is a very simple app that’s aimed at helping your little ones learn to identify their ABCs. The app’s screen is black but is filled with white letters, all different shapes and sizes and turned in topsy turvy directions. The idea is to tap on the letters in the correct ABC order [...]

Eileen from Rand McNally asked me to take a look at their line of Boredom Breakers- games and activities designed to keep your kids entertained (and you sane) on road trips. I’d not heard of them before but I’m more than happy to try out anything that might make traveling with my kids more pleasant. [...]
