Awesone Apps for Kids

These apps are indeed awesome. We (kids between the ages of 4 and 10) tried a few of them out this weekend. Don't Let the Pigeon Run This App! was great fun for my 4 year old. She was able to use this app independently and loved creating her own story. The Monster At the End of This Book was also a hit with her. It is a great story but adding the interactive components further enhances the experience. All three enjoyed Toontastic, they took turns creating their own story and loved being able to play it back to hear their voices narrating it. Thanks to our Children's Librarians for researching these great apps for the kids.

Awesome apps

We're so glad you both liked the Pigeon app, you can't go wrong with Mo Willems. It's nice to hear that all three kids found something they could play with and enjoy. We'll keep looking for more great apps!
