We recently discovered the Heroes of the City app and got in touch to review for them. Prior to that, we had not heard nor watched them before. For those of you who have not heard of Heroes of the City, they are: A children’s television cartoon about rescue vehicles in a small town where everybody gets to be a hero! In the show, you get to meet Pauli Police Car and Fiona Fire Engine as they help the townspeople find thieves, put out fires and solve crime that happens in the otherwise quiet town. You will also get to know Calamity Crow, the most misunderstood bird in town. The cartoon is for children aged 3 – 7.
I come from Singapore and we did not use phonics during my school time. So I had absolutely no idea what phonics was, let alone teach Mr K. Having apps on the iPad is always so handy as they can learn phonics if they are not playing outdoor or in a car journey. This app that I had downloaded is called Twinkle Phonics Suite where you learn British Phonics – Reading, Writing & Spelling.
Ms C has been ill for two days now. Luckily, today I was able to download the brand new Woolly and Tig App. As part of the launch, Brands With Influence has teamed with Evolution PR and UKMums.tv and recruited 50 bloggers to test drive the new app. Ms C loves the Woolly and Tig show from Cbeebies and hoped this app would keep her company. We had also reviewed their First Day DVD, One Step at a Time DVD, sticker and story book previously.
Do you always find that there is always a missing sock when you tidy up your laundry? Or always find an odd sock? It is strictly no outdoor shoes in my house and sometimes I have noticed some guests wearing mismatched socks! Maybe you have a sock monster at home? Sock Monster is a quirky storybook adventure for iPad with original hand-crafted artwork by exciting new author/illustrator Lorna Freytag. It is suitable for ages 2 – 5 years old. Lorna is a working mum and managed to create and produce Sock Monster whilst illustrating another book for a publisher, looking after her nearly-two-year old daughter and being pregnant with her second baby.
