Color Me, a coloring app best
Posted on February 18th, 2010
# UPDATED: Version 1.2 is now out with 11 new drawings to be colored! #
There are several coloring apps already out there and some of the are very good. But making a great coloring app is not an easy task and I believe that the guys who made Color Me actually got it.
What makes an app great are the little details. From the quality of the drawings, the quick response when you touch a part to color it, the interaction with the tools, the choice of colors. Color Me is got it all! My 3 yo said out of his head he loved it (believe, having seen a lot of apps, he is very picky)!
More info from the developer:
A coloring booklet for children at the age of 2-6 years. Diverse pictures and color palette will trigger the development of your child’s imagination and shape his/her senses.
A very friendly and intuitive application enables your child to easily create extraordinary pictures.
Only a touch of a finger and the selected element of the coloring will be filled with colors.
Shaking the iPhone will cause the cleansing of the picture and therefore provides endless possibilities for coloring of the pictures.
It is also possible to save the masterpieces of your child in the image gallery. Then the child will be able to place them on the desktop of your device..
Allow your child to discover the world of colors by means of “Color Me!”
Color Collector, a quest for colors!
Posted on December 26th, 2009
As more and more apps get developed and offered to the market, some companies start to get noticed for the quality of what they manage to create. That is certainly the case of Tickle Tap Apps, and they have a new great app called ‘Color Collector’. This is certainly one of a kind.
‘Color Collector’ challenges kids to find colors on the physical world using the iPhone camera. As they find a color and click, the app matches the color against a color wheel and gives a corresponding star for the color that was found. More than a color learning game, this one actually exercises motor coordination, the use of the camera and the exploration of the world in a great learning experience! No doubts, a TOP 10 APP!
For what the app requires in terms of skills, it is recommended for kids from 3 to 5 by the developer. My 3 yo. is having a great time with it!

Sound Shaker, a delicate sound experience
Posted on December 20th, 2009

Peaceful, harmonic and yet entertaining this is certainly a nice experience we would like our kids to have. Make sure to see the video bellow to get a better idea.

Itsy Bitsy Spider, the musical coloring book
Posted on December 5th, 2009
Here is another app on the Itsy Bitsy Spider, this one a coloring book. Although the nice music, my 3 yo had a hard time choosing the colors on the pencils. I imagine it probably will work better for older kids.
If you like this one, make sure to look also for The Halloween Coloring Book, from the same creators.

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.

OK, so here is my 3 yo. son’s new favorite iPhone app!
This cute app exercises logic, math, colors and a series of other educational challanges through a game of feeding the little monster. Feed the monster with the write answer and he will be happy. Give him the wrong stuff and well… check it out! After completing a series of tasks, there is the treasures room. My kid just loves it. 
And what’s best, the app already comes in 8 different languages.

Toddler Teasers: Quizzing
Posted on June 21st, 2009
This is a bundle of educational games of shapes, colors, numbers and letters. The game asks the toddler to touch the right option and, at the end of the round, offers a virtual sticker as a prize.
Dumb as may seem, kids love the virtual sticker thing and it does work as a drive for completing the tasks.
Great practicing tool for the little ones and also a good way to start learning English as a second language for those who were not born in an English speaking country.
