These apps are great for kids during the holidays. They can keep a child occupied waiting in long lines, on an airplane, at a restaurant, or at a relative's house. Some times kids need a break from the holiday intensity. Just wait, you might find yourself taking a break with one of these too!
Don't feel guilty, there is an educational component to each of these.
Where's Perry? ($0.99) When I first bought this app I could not put it down. My excuse was that I had to learn how to do each puzzle so that I could help my 10-year old child with the ones she could not do. She has a stylus to use with her ipad which helps as it is sometimes hard for her to be precise with her finger. This "challenging physics based" app encourages planning and problem-solving. It's so worth the money!
Talking Gina the Giraffe (free) Gina is so cute it's hard to resist talking to her. Once you find out she talks back it's even hard to stop! Gina likes to play patty cake and encourages you to play along with her. This is great for kids who can use extra practice coordinating the right and left sides of their brains. What fun (and educational) apps do you suggest? Leave your ideas below.
