New apps from Kids Academy

I am always looking for a way to occupy my children when we are at appointments. So anytime I see a new app for children I check it out. I was recently introduced to three new ones and I wanted to share them with y'all.  The first one is Best Kids Songs. Songs include Bingo, ABC, and alphabet phonics. Good for children from baby to kindergarten with fun educational nursery rhymes and karaoke music. Children will learn the English language through playing games like flash cards and animal sing along.






As you can see the pictures are super cute and the music is very entertaining. The song is Bingo, ever child know the song. So the little dog hops along with the farmer to the song. It is very bright and colorful I can see this being entertaining for young children.

The next app is super cute app is based on Montessori match letter and math quiz puzzles. It is a learning kid's game and great for boys and girls. They can learn to read, ABC, alphabet tracing, and phonics. With songs and interactive games. 

The age is listed as 5 and under but any child that needs a refresher would be more than happy to play with the app. It breaks down tracing to a child's level and makes it easy for them to understand. It is also very easy to use even for tiny hands. The tracing feature doesn't let them do it incorrectly either. So not only can they learn to recognize the letter but they are learning how to write the letter as well.



The last app is very similar to the last but it is made for Preschool and Kindergarten children. It is based on Montessori educational English language approach in reading.  The app is packed with crosswords, sounds, songs, spelling blacks and flash cards. The app helps develop fine motor skins and practice letter writing all while having fun!

Lots of mazes to conquer some you even go through while learning to rhyme. The full version has upper and lower case letter to trace.





All of these have a free limited version of the apps to try them out. Any in app purchases have special instructions so your little one cannot cost you a fortune on your next bill. All three of these apps compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iTouch. It requires iOS 4.3 or later, optimized for iPhone 5.

Talking Anya Dress-up & Pet Puppies App

Like most mothers I am always interested in apps that will entertain my children if I need them. I mostly use them at the doctor's office because I always forget toys or other entertainment. It was much easier when they were younger because I would give them an app that teaches ABCs or Shapes but now that they are in school, they are on another level.

I should also mention I hate paying for apps I like to try them first. If I love it I will buy the expanded version or add ons but what if I don't like it? If I've paid for it I wasted my money. I don't know about you but I'm ALWAYS deleting the apps I don't like to make memory.  When I saw the app for Talking Anya Dress-up & Pets I knew my girls would love her. She is adorable 3D little girl who is super interactive. You can change her dress, the color of her hair and eyes. Then the big plus there is a free version so you can try it before you buy.

Your little one can put sunglasses on her, give her musical instruments, which your little one can help her play the instruments as well.  You also can make her sing and dance! Her dancing the Macerena  is too cute with of course a great beat for her to dance to. It made me smile so it's sure to make your little one smile.  All of this can be done by touching Anya. Imagine how much fun it is watching this funky little blue haired girl dancing!


You can make her blow bubbles and if you want to play along you can "pop" them. There is a counter telling you how many bubbles you have popped. In this screen shot she is "fussing" me for touching her hair because I will mess it up. Sounds a lot like one of my little girls.


If you touch her belly she laughs and says "that tickles" There are in app purchases for puppies and other clothing.  Anya can be a princess, lady bug, Cinderella, and much more. There are five puppies in all and you can purchase a puppy or more than one and they are interactive as well. 

My daughter laughed and laughed with Anya she loved popping the bubbles and watching her dance. Even my 10 year old son chuckled when Anya started dancing. 

I can see Anya providing lots of entertainment for a little one and with a free version for IPhones and IPads you have nothing to lose. PS: Don't worry the in app purchases tell your little one to get an adult  before they purchase. Plus ask for a math problem to be solved, so you have no surprises on your bill.
