Toca Tailor is FREE for limited time, from typical price $2.99.  iGameMom reviewed Toca Tailor Fairy Tale, a similar app from the same developer.  While Toca Tailor Fairy Tale has two fairy characters for kids to play with, Toca Tailor has four characters.  It is an app I would recommend even if it is not free, so grab it while it is on deal.  While in the app, kids pick one of the four characters they want to dress up… Read more

Over in the Jungle, a rainforest rhyme by Dawn Productions is a reading, counting and sing-along interactive app. There’s so much packed in here, that you certainly get quite a bit of content for your dollar with this app! I would say it works best with 3-5 year olds (however, there’s probably something of interest to a wider age range in terms of factual information contained in the app) and it gives kids the opportunity to have lots of variety… Read more

Toca House is from one of my favorite developer Toca Boca.  It is FREE today only. Like other Toca Boca apps,such as Toca Doctor, Toca Tailor, Toca Kitchen,  it is open-ended play with no winning or losing.  It teaches kids about everyday chores of a household. Once kids open the app, they see this big house.  They can visit different parts of the house by swiping figures around.  Depending on the room or the yard location they stop at, kids can help… Read more

Today we are sharing some Easter devotional apps for kids.  Although iGameMom is not associated with any particular religion, I believe religion is a good window for us to look into a culture.  Having lived in 4 countries with completely different cultual, I appreciate any opportunity to expose my child to a different cultual.  I am glad our reviewer JJ the Piwi mama explored Easter devotional apps to share with us.  Let’s see what Piwi Mama have for us.  This week the… Read more

The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories by Dr Seuss is another app produced by Oceanhouse Media and adds to their mighty cannon of Dr Seuss related products. I have to admit to being a very late latecomer when it comes to Dr Seuss. I was never introduced to it as a child and hadn’t read any of the stories until I had children of my own. I know, I know! My only excuse is that it just never featured… Read more

Traveling with kids can be one of two things…an absolute joy, or a terrifyingly stressful ordeal. The best thing a parent can do to prevent the latter is to BE PREPARED. Enter my secret weapon—the iPad. On long bus, train or plane rides, we do as many non-digital activities as possible. But the inevitable point always comes when the iPad is the best solution. My arsenal of Apps always have a real world component, that means whatever activity we do… Read more

The book teaches children, with the use of rhyme, the correct terms for different groups of animals. Here’s… Read more

One of my all-time favorite authors is Dr. Seuss. You can’t get more legendary and classic than a Seuss book, and with the celebration of his recent birthday the Dr. Seuss apps are everywhere.  This app/book is one of my favorites: There’s a Wocket in my Pocket! by Dr. Seuss from Oceanhouse Media. It is a goofy story of rhymes and the various creatures found in the main character’s house. This book app offers three options for reading: read to me, read it myself… Read more
