iMoo, your virtual canned mooing cow
Posted on January 8th, 2010
Moms and dads will probably remember the little can that you would flip upside down and back to hear it moo. This app simply brings back the deal, with a choice of different ‘moos’ and even the option to record your own.
Simple enough for any kid to play with it and have some fun. Worth the price? Why not?

Here’s another great app from Tickle Tap. In Field Flier kids help Robin the bird to move around and do lots of fun things while developing motor skills and vocabulary. Fun and imaginative, has great illustrations, sound and interaction. Here is a description from the product page:
Field Flier is an imaginative app that lets preschoolers explore a day in the life of Robin the bird. Children tap the screen to show Robin where to fly. Along the way they discover where Robin likes to go and what Robin likes to do. Robin sings, swims in a pond, sits in a nest, hides in a tree, hops, dances and more! Accompanying voiceovers reinforce action words and help expand growing vocabularies. Field Flyer is an entertaining and open-ended learning adventure.

Rejoinder: shake, tilt, strech!
Posted on October 28th, 2009
Here is a more ‘physical’ iPhone app, where kids play around with the character by moving the iPhone around. The choice of animals is fun and really well-built. Good sound effects, illustration and programming. Although I get a little afraid my 3 yo will drop the iPhone at some point because of the physical moves he really seems to have fun with the app.

Stolen Lunch Kid Book
Posted on October 17th, 2009
Here is a nicely done app that covers animals names, sounds, shapes and colors with a very clean design and a straight-forward interface. With big interactive buttons and no confusion, you get 1 information at a time as you press the shapes: animal name; sound, shape color and shape number. Previous and next buttons and a wide sort of shapes, colors and animals.
As I believe kids should get visually educated while playing apps, I prefer to offer clean and pretty interfaces which is certainly the case for Kid Book.
Although I little bit pricey compared to others in the same category I believe this app to be still an excellent buy.

Farm Idol, quick and simple fun
Posted on August 30th, 2009
Farm Idol is yet another iPhone app based on farms and animals theme, something that really seems to live widely on the kids imagination and thus is always welcome. On this app, the fun is simple and quick. Choose an animal and tap it while tilting your iPhone to get different music notes out of it and create instant songs. Something to keep your kid entertained and having fun, at least for a while.

OccupyBaby, keep your baby learning
Posted on August 15th, 2009
OccupyBaby is an app where by touching the animal, one hears the sound it does and the animals name, while the word is written on the screen. Pretty straight forward, aimed more towards the little ones with nice and non-complex drawings and interaction.
There is a ’sea’ edition coming out soon as advertised on the site and I’m anxious to see it.
If you like this app, you should probably check other similar ‘barn’ and farm animals themed apps I have come across. Parents with kids under 2 should take a look at Peekaboo Barn. For toddlers, Old McDonald is also good choice.

Peekaboo Barn

Here is one of the first apps my son played with and we are still in love with it, after going around getting to know a lot of what’s out there.
Peekaboo Barn is a simple and beautiful game, dedicated to teach first words either to toddlers and as a tool to start learning a second language as it comes in English and Spanish. Very easy to use, it allows even the most little ones start playing with it right away.
This is trully a must have.
