As someone who is a big fan of art (my B.A. is in Art History), I was thrilled to see the new Interactive Art for Kid (iPhone, iPod, and iPad) and Interactive Art for Kid- HD (iPad only) apps by ideatory. These apps provide a great introduction into the world of art for kids. Interactive [...]

Operation Math is Spinlight Studio's first app for older children and to quote my kids, "It rocks!"

Dr. Seuss Band

The brand new app from Oceanhouse Media, Dr. Seuss Band, is just plain fun! I had no idea what to expect from this one and it has me charmed. The first thing you’ll do is create a Seussical instrument. You’ll find a trumpet, french horn, clarinet, flute and trombone all with a Seuss twist. You [...]

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was two weeks ago when I saw that Issue 3 of KidsMag was now available on the iPad. The only thing that has made me giddier is to see that Portegno Apps has also released a KidsMag Christmas Special Edition for the holidays. The KidsMag apps [...]

iTubeList – YouTube Playlist Finder (with kids video collection)

Erin — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:35:10 +0000

Up until now I have had mixed feelings about letting her watch videos on it; she loves to watch clips of her favorite cartoons (which is a great option and buys me a few minutes of sanity), but at least once a day she somehow stumbles upon some weird, not kid friendly, video (causing me to block YouTube from my device resulting in a loss of sanity as my three year old continuously asks where the videos went). ... With iTubeList you can organize YouTube videos to suit your needs, all you need to do is search. iTubeList is extremely easy to use and navigate around, and once videos are saved on to your device you can watch them anytime. iTubeList is one of those amazing apps that everyone should own.

Doodlecast for Kids

zinc Roe games has made some terrific apps for toddlers and preschoolers in the past (Sound Shaker, Sort Slider, the Stella and Sam stories) but their brand new app is something different that I think is pretty wonderful. Doodlecast for Kids provides simple prompts to get children doodling and it then records them while they [...]

Usborne Sticker Dolly Dressing - definitely the best dress up app I've seen for younger children and one of our new favorites.

Cinderella – Nosy Crow

Heather Leister — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:25:04 +0000

Nosy Crow has followed up their popular Three Little Pigs storybook app with an interactive twist on the Cinderella story. I could write this review with one sentence and it would simply say, “the app is delightful and you won’t regret the purchase”. This is exactly how I feel after diving into the app. The [...]

Comixer – Comics Mixer

Heather Leister — Mon, 02 May 2011 14:32:25 +0000

I love it when I find an app that’s both educational and appealing to my older children. They often seem like a neglected demographic in the App Store so it was nice to find Comixer – Comic Mixer. Comixer takes a variety of funny comic panels and lets users rearrange them to create their own [...]
