Everything that makes the Magic School Bus series so cool has been taken to the max with the amazing app. Now you not only get to enjoy the book but you'll also get a kick out of the narration, the interactive parts (some are even videos), and the games. It is really one of the coolest books I have ever seen in the app world. Your child will truly get so much more out of it because of all the interactive aspects. It has 26 real photos and 11 videos for your child to observe. The marine based knowledge crammed into this app is truly impressive.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> He really loves this app - it is so exciting to him to learn about all the undersea creatures. He gets a big kick out of the characters (there are 20 different voices) and the story too. Having each word highlighted as it is narrated is wonderful for him since he is just beginning to read.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He loves this book too! He finds it hilarious when the bus drives straight into the ocean. He loves to touch the characters and listen to them talk. The videos are his favorite -he will watch them on repeat!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I have always loved the Magic School Bus series - it was one of my childhood favs. I loved the idea of being able to go to all those places on a bus - not to mention really enjoyed Ms. Frizzle's outfit choices. It is really cool to see the book come to life for my children. I can't wait to see if they come out with more apps from the book series!<br />

You see an image or a moving clip and have to come up with the well known phrase it is displaying. Instead of choosing from a list of options, you actually type in your answer. It will also allow you to choose between beginner and advanced game play.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> This is too advanced for him.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> Definitely too difficult for my little one.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> This is a word game for me for sure - I am pretty much hooked. It's a perfect time killer and can be very challenging. Some of the phrases will have me so stumped I have to check out the facebook page for a little extra hint. It is definitely perfect for helping me survive the boredom on long car rides and it's fun to play with hubby too (seeing who can crack it quicker).<br />

It does more than just say the letter and follow it up with the pronoucaition - it also has a fun activity for every letter. This makes it an app that your child will keep coming back to and have probably no clue how much they are learning in the process. They can even enjoy a sing-along alphabet song.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> He is a little old for the app because he already has learned all of his abc's but he still would enjoy completing some of the activites like building a robot and finding treasure.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> Completely perfect for our little guy. He was hooked from the get go (just as he was with TallyTots) and I would catch him reciting the letters as he went through all the activities. He comes back to the app time and time again - it never seems to get old for him. I have also noticed a great improvement in his letter recognition.<br />

This is the story perfect for reading & bonding with your little one and now you can have an interactive version on your iPad. You can choose to turn on or off the narration & music. Your child will love seeing the characters come to life with animations brought on by simply touching and tilting your iPad.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> This was a great book for him to help aid with our beginning reading. It highlights the words as they are being read and makes it easy for him to associate the sounds with the letters. He remembers me reading this to him since he was a baby and really enjoys being able to listen to it whenever he desires.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He has a ball touching the characters to see what they will do.He will bring me the iPad with the app ready to go and say "let's read mom". <br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I love how it takes a story our family has always enjoyed and makes it feel new and engaging. Being able touch and get a response from the book is really cool to my kids. It also makes it easy to bring along one of our favorite books on any trip and no longer do we have to worry about mis-placing it (Daddy would never let his iPad disappear).<br />

Each puzzle has letters built into the completion process - so your child is also learning letter recognition and spelling. With 8 color palettes and graphics with the feel of craft papers and wood - this is a beautifully designed app. The voice overs are great learning assets and the encouragement given for each completed puzzle are great for your developing child.</blockquote><i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> He was a champ at the puzzle construction and really got into putting the letters for each image into place. He would actually start to retain the way to spell words just from putting together the puzzles. I was floored.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He really likes putting together the various puzzles and it will keep him engaged for some impressively long stretches of time. This is a mom must have!<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I am really impressed with the graphics and the versatility of this app. It is great for both of my children and the ability to customize the difficulty is a genius feature.<br />

You have 3 different campaigns to complete and to do so you must successfully defeat your enemies. Spanning across 26 levels - it's filled with humor, battles, and toys you loved as a child. Coming soon you'll be able to enjoy multi-player and a whole new campaign with the the Tomorrow Bots! <br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> I think he would have really enjoyed this game but it had a great deal of reading and he is not a reader yet. He did enjoy watching mommy play and would try to offer bits of strategy advice my way (surprisingly helpful advice too).<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> This is definitely too mature for him.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I was drawn to the unique graphics and characters. The whole cupcake boxer instantly got my attention and any game with a campaign called "The Kandy Kingdom" is something I just had to try. Being new to the defend and battle type of game it took me a minute to get accustomed to but once I got my feet wet - I was a fan.<br />

You can also earn a gold tick for finding in all 5 places!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> It was pretty tough for him at times - he would try to tough it out and sometimes be successful at finding Alfie. More often then not it was just a bit out of his league at the moment.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> Way too advanced for this little guy - he didn't have a clue how to find Alfie, although he did enjoy pointing out other items he would catch sight of in each scene.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I loved it. I would spend far too much time searching for Alfie. I enjoyed traveling the world with him and certainly found it to be pretty challenging at times.<br />

The app has over 100 word definitions and they are cleverly built into the game. You get to use tilting to help her fly through her superhero missions and also of course - your newly learned vocabulary words!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> This was just perfect for him. I could rapidly notice his vocabulary improving and he also really enjoyed playing it. He loved that it had spy references like eavesdropping and he had a great time avoiding the obstacles.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> Although I don't think he had a clue what he was doing when he would play - he still likes to play this app. Perhaps it's the super hero aspect that appeals to him but he opts to play it on my phone time and time again.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> It was a wonderful blend of a show my kids love, learning, and addictive game play. I am happy to hear it in the background and know that they are getting some brain food even if they have no clue.<br />

<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> He will spend endless stretches constructing unique pictures and designs. In the beginning he made a lot of trains but now he has moved into faces, patterns, and more. I never cease to be impressed with the creative ideas he comes up with during his felting sessions.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He really got in touch with his artistic side. After a short demo explanation from his older brother he was off and running. It was not too difficult for him to figure out but he did tend to create repetitive designs from one shape. No matter what his final product was - he was very proud of it!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I liked that they have endless creative options within the app and the way it kept my children engaged. It's also nice for them to be able to build and design within an app - certainly cuts back on what I have to tote!<br />

You can record your own voice telling the tale, tickle the pandas, and every page allows you to touch the characters and see them animated.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> He enjoyed the app and will chose to hear the story at night. He really liked recording his own voice to read the story!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He is a big fan of the classic version of this tale and found it to be equally enjoyable panda style. He laughs and laughs when the pandas return home to find their home has been invaded by a little girl. He also loved being able to touch the pandas and see them almost come to life.<br />
<br />

Once they came out with those cute little stretchy cases to hook it onto our bags - we were more than hooked. My kids actually call it "hanitizer" and I swear they get as excited about going to pick out a new bottle as they do going to the toy store. It's very bizarre but I'm pretty happy to have them not only liking something so affordable but also something that helps prevent germs from getting into our lives. They like to hook it around their belt buckle and although they tend to go through it pretty quickly - the price is right for constant new bottles & scents (<a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=11621766&cm_sp=LN-_-New+Spring+Arrivals%21-_-5+for+%245+New+PocketBac&cp=4090259.4090258.4090283.4305659">currently $5 for $5</a>).<br />
<br />
Right now Bath & Body Works has a fun new contest going to <a href="http://www.mypocketbac.com/design">Design your own PocketBac</a>. It's super easy to do - <a href="http://www.mypocketbac.com/design">you simply click on this link</a> and then follow the steps to design your PocketBac. You get to chose the scent, the label background, and drag/drop to add images to your label design. I got sucked into the fun but it was also a perfect summer distraction for my son. He thought it was really fun to create his own design.<br />
<br />
It's definitely something worth trying out for yourself - winners will win a $500 shopping spree at Bath & Body Works and their design sold in stores!! After you finish getting in touch with your creative side, be sure to <a href="http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/category/index.jsp?categoryId=11621766&cm_sp=LN-_-New+Spring+Arrivals%21-_-5+for+%245+New+PocketBac&cp=4090259.4090258.4090283.4305659">check out some of the latest arrivals</a>. They have a patriotic collection complete with our favorite s'mores and apple pie. <br />

I have now become craftier than ever, thanks to this idea filled site. I started keeping a list of all the projects I wanted to complete on our marker board. The problem with this - in addition to it being boring - is that everything tends to blur together and it is far from an organized method. Plus - my shorthand can get a bit confusing for anyone trying to participate. My project board also is filled with activities for the kiddos and since they can't read yet - it's not the best way to involve them as well.<br />
<br />
I was looking at one of my favorite crafting sites - <a href="http://brassyapple.blogspot.com/"><b>Brassy Apple</b></a> and I saw her idea for creating a <a href="http://brassyapple.blogspot.com/2011/05/summer-activity-board-sew-dang-cute.html">Summer Activity Board</a>. It's not exactly the same as her brilliant plan but it certainly inspired me to give my project board a much needed facelift (I really love the way she used images on her board)! I tried to create a tutorial for my Project Board renovation - not sure if this will be helpful for anyone but please bear with me this being my first craft tutorial attempt and all.<br />

I cut of the string that would make them hang. My images were printed thumbnail size and fit almost perfectly to the tags. I few of them needed minor trimming. I put them on the tags because I wanted the paper to be thicker and I liked the look of them. Plus thanks to the built in hole I can easily take some down and put them on a ring when I'm running errands. This makes it much easier to remember what projects I wanted to buy supplies for while I'm out.<br />

The blue thumbtacks mean I need to buy some supplies before doing the project (this is perfect because I can grab some of the tags on the way to the store and easily know what I need to buy). The green, pink, and red are my way of putting projects into order of importance - you could also divide them by category. I'm thinking of going back and making one color kid projects, one my projects, and one honey-dew projects. The yellow thumbtacks are the products I am in currently in the middle of and the white are the ones I have complete. Yes - I currently only have one white thumbtack....baby steps.<br />

I also plan to write the date completed on the back of the tags (hopefully there will be more than one to do so on).<br />

Each puzzle contains anywhere from 5 - 10 pieces that snap into place when correctly inserted their spot. Once the puzzle is completed a licensed speech therapist says the item in the puzzle as it the real image is revealed. The app is designed to promote fine motor skills and cognitive thinking for your preschooler.<b> ($0.99 for iPhone)</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> Although he would whiz though the puzzles, he still enjoyed the app for short stretches of time. It's a bit to simple for him.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> This app could not be more perfect for him. He loves completing the puzzles and always says the puzzle item aloud along with the speech therapist. He is very proud that he can solve them all by himself and he enjoys putting them together for 30+ minutes each time he opens the app.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I love this app. It is such a cool way to keep a preschooler busy. I can tell it has made a difference on his vocabulary and the way he pronounces his words. I also love having tons of puzzles for him to put together without having to keep track of all the pieces myself.<br />
<blockquote><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Simply Stated: In the preschool app market this is one of my all time favorites.

The bright colors and fun scenes will keep your child entertained for a good while. It's perfect for any child who wants to be a firefighter, but even if that's not their current career wish - this app is still highly engaging to pretty much any young child.<b> ($1.99 for iPhone or iPad)</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> He liked to try out every aspect of the app but he did quickly lose interest after completely them all. It's definitely better for children a little younger than him (he's almost 6).<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He was obsessed. He will play this game for ages. He loves to save the cat and climb the ladder. He just can't seem to quit. He also loves putting the fireman into his uniform. We quickly made sure to have this on every device we own because he is such a fan!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I thought it was a really cute and smartly designed app. It's perfect for preschoolers. My son has played it so much that I permanently have the song stuck in my head. In fact I catch myself humming it throughout the day... "hurry hurry drive the fire truck"!<br />

Let your child match the numbers on the colors to the numbers in the drawing. Although the concept sounds simple, some of the puzzles can be a challenge. This app is perfectly geared toward ages 2 - 6 and is a great way to keep your young one entertained. <b>($1.99 for the iPad)</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> This was right up his alley. He loves to color and when you add in the matching almost puzzle like aspect of coloring by number - he would get hooked on the game. He really could not stand to have to stop mid-picture.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He also enjoyed the app but he definitely struggled a bit with matching the numbers to the colors. I could see a noticable improvement in his number recognization skills the more he played this app.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I even had a good time coloring the scenes by number. I liked the way it drew my eldest in and I was impressed with the quick improvements I saw from my youngest playing the app. It does a great job of both challenging and engaging your child.<br />

The options are endless thanks to all the different artistic mediums your child can choose from - not only can they draw, but they can use paint, colored pencils, markers, crayons, stickers, and more. You can even choose from lots of fun backgrounds or create your own background from your photos.

This app casts you as a hard working zombie serving ice cream to customers that only show you their hand. While the concept is simple it can certainly be tricky. Your boss is tossing ice cream scoops in the air and you have to tilt your device to catch them in the cone - all the while you have to be sure you are catching the customers order and then deliver it to them. If you take to long the customer's outstretched hand turns an angry shade of red and your "understanding" boss takes your tip as the dis-satisfied customer disappears. <a href="http://nowwhatbaby.blogspot.com/2011/05/zombies-ala-mode.html"><b>Check out what our testers thought and view screenshots!!</b></a><br />

It's perfect for keeping passengers entertained on a long car ride! The concept is simple - achieve Bingo by finding the items on your board. Items on the board are beautiful illustrations of items you should be able to stumble across on any road trip - like a for sale sign, green car, stoplight, and railroad crossing. When you find the item you simply touch the square to have a marker placed. Once you achieve bingo a monster appears with the word Bingo across his chest. The iPad version also has the option of playing 2 player, which can certainly cause a competition! <a href="http://nowwhatbaby.blogspot.com/2011/05/road-trip-bingo.html"><b>Check out what our testers thought and view screenshots!! </b></a><br />

<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> It may sound like a simplistic concept but my son loved it. He was challenged to re-create the images and would spend hours (seriously, hours) playing this app. He would proudly show me just how many he had completed and I marveled at how hard he would work to accomplish each one.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> While he didn't get the idea of re-creating the image, he did enjoy designing his own grid style artwork. It would keep his attention for short stretches of time. This app is definitely better for children 4+.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> I thought it was pretty cool how much it made my son think and found it to be a good way for him to use his mind creatively. I was completely shocked by just how long it could keep his attention! As for me - the puzzles were a little too simplistic.<br />

<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> He found it to be supremely entertaining. He just loved adding his face or family member's faces into his creations. He would laugh hysterically with each new kook he would create. He really loved using a photo of his bedroom as the background.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> This app was hilarious to him as well. He had no trouble mastering the art of creating kooks and was always proud to show off his creatures. It would entertain him for a good period of time!<br />
<br />
<b><i>Mom's Take</i></b>: I must admit - I too found it fun to create kooks with our family's faces. I found myself laughing as much as my children. I enjoyed showing them what I would put together and watching their reactions. It's a fun way to entertain the whole family and perfect for when we are trapped on a road trip.<br />

This app casts you as a hard working zombie serving ice cream to customers that only show you their hand. While the concept is simple it can certainly be tricky. Your boss is tossing ice cream scoops in the air and you have to tilt your device to catch them in the cone - all the while you have to be sure you are catching the customers order and then deliver it to them. If you take to long the customer's outstretched hand turns an angry shade of red and your "understanding" boss takes your tip as the dis-satisfied customer disappears. <b>($0.99 for the iPad and iPhone)</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> He liked this game but he would get frustrated with it when he kept losing customers. He was much better at it then I was and the good 20-30 minute stretches it would keep him entertained were great during a car ride!<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He is too young to understand or to play. He likes to try and catch the scoops of ice cream but you can be certain there will be no attention paid to orders or any completed cones delivered to the waiting customers. I'm pretty sure he got fired.<br />
<br />
<i><b> Mom's Take:</b></i> I found it to reveal how much I stink at tilting the iPad properly. I struggled to catch the scoops in a timely matter but I found it to be addictive fun nontheless.<br />
<blockquote><span style="background-color: #ead1dc;">Simply Stated: It is an interesting twist with the combination of time management, serving customers, and tilt to play.

It's perfect for keeping passengers entertained on a long car ride! The concept is simple - achieve Bingo by finding the items on your board. Items on the board are beautiful illustrations of items you should be able to stumble across on any road trip - like a for sale sign, green car, stoplight, and railroad crossing. When you find the item you simply touch the square to have a marker placed. Once you achieve bingo a monster appears with the word Bingo across his chest. The iPad version also has the option of playing 2 player, which can certainly cause a competition!<b> ($1.99 for iPad and $0.99 for the iPhone)</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> This was right up his alley. He had a great time trying to spot the objects on his card and would play the game repeatedly. He really loved to play against someone else - that made it a challenge he couldn't stand to lose.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He really wasn't ready for this concept yet. He could handle looking for one object but a card through of quests was too much for him.<br />

The story is about Mott's experiences when spending a day upside down. Each page of the story has animation and when you touch certain aspects of each story page they will react. You can choose to have it read aloud or to read it yourself. It also has the option to view the book in 3D if you have a pair of 3D glasses (or you can order some through the app). <b>($2.99 both iPad and iPhone)</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> He really was intrigued by this tale and it aroused a great deal of questions for him. He started to think about how his day would go if he was stuck upside down. His favorite part was when Mott basically fell off the Earth. He will listen to it repeatedly and has requested some 3D glasses to try out with it in the future. He also thought it was really cool to turn the story upside down and see it from a new perspective.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He liked the story and had a great time touching (tickling) Mott to hear him make various sounds and say words. He would just keep tapping Mott over and over again. <br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> Although I absolutely love to hold a nice hardbound book in my hand it's great apps like these that make it hard to resist the lure of digital books. This fun story includes great illustrations, a full-time (not mom required) narrator, and give your child the experience of watching the book come to life. The crazy part to me is that they cost far less than a hardback in your local bookstore and as far as storage goes it can't be beat. I thought the story was very cute and super clever. My children both found it fascinating and thought inducing. I have even caught them pretending they are stuck upside down for the day.<br />

The options are endless thanks to all the different artistic mediums your child can choose from - not only can they draw, but they can use paint, colored pencils, markers, crayons, stickers, and more. You can even choose from lots of fun backgrounds or create your own background from your photos. The app makes it feel very realistic due in part to the real to life size and photo look of the mediums and the added ability to soften and blend colors. Now you also have the ability to download coloring books to add even more entertainment to this artistic app!<b> ($1.99 for the iPad)</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old: </b></i>He LOVES this app. I can't get him to stop playing it. He has always enjoyed drawing on blank paper and this has become an addiction for him. He loves being able to save all his artwork and show it off the anyone. His favorite thing to do is create artwork using tons of the stickers (having train stickers and plane stickers gave it a place in his heart).<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He also LOVES this app. His favorite way to use it is to make a background from one of our photos (he can actually figure out how to do this it's so well designed) and then have a laughter filled ball as he paints and colors all over the family members in the photo. It will entertain him for a good while and his "masterpieces" are certainly something he feels great pride over creating.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take:</b></i> Every parent needs this app. It will not only keep your kid entertained but it will also help simplify your life. It's so much better to tote this around then a bag stocked with crayons, markers, pencils, and stickers - not to mention you don't have to worry about your little one deciding to use those artistic supplies on everything put the pad of paper. I also loved having all their artwork digitally stored on the iPad just waiting for an easy transfer to my computer. This makes it possible to hold onto forever without taking up loads of space.<br />

It has fun activities for numbers 1-20 and it is done in such a clever way to make learning to count fun. Kids can do activities like lighting up the light bulbs, picking apples, even a little matching & sorting. Your child will be able to count along with the guide and you'll be surprised how quickly they grasp counting from 1- 20. <b>($2.99 for the iPad)</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 5 year old:</b></i> While his counting abilities were a little advanced for this app, he still enjoyed trying out the activites for each number. However, he lost interest after he played it once.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Thoughts from a 2 year old:</b></i> He really loves this app. He will play it over and over and over. I kept hearing him counting and didn't know where it was coming from until I realized he was learning it from this clever app. Whenever he plays it you can hear him counting along and the experience is definitely sticking in his mind.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Mom's Take</b></i>: I am a big fan of apps that not only entertain my kids but also manage to make learning fun. TallyTots does an excellent job of teaching counting to your child. I am nothing but impressed with how effective and enjoyable it is with my youngest. He can easily count to 20 and I owe this app all the credit.<br />

Enjoy the tale of Lola as she faces her fear of the big bad toilet. Although I would peg this as a match made in heaven for potty training parents - it is also fun for kids already out of pullups! My favorite feature is the ability to record yourself or your child narrating the story. It definitely makes it more personal and interactive for your child.

I am a big fan of the end results - the images make me want to try and see what I could create with cardboard. The app is made up of 14 addictive mini games (all of which have hidden objects within). Your performance on each mini-game gets a rating and earns you stars - you have to earn stars to unlock the various mini-games. You'll get to tilt the iPad, use the microphone, and take advantage of the multi-touch ability. <a href="http://nowwhatbaby.blogspot.com/2011/05/albert-hd.html"><b>Check out what our testers thought and view screenshots!</b></a><br />
