Last week I looked at iLearn With the Mighty Jungle: Animals! HD and thought it was a great choice for kids 3-6 years old. Now this week I’ve got ten promo codes from Tribal Nova to give away to our readers.
iLearn With the Mighty Jungle: Animals! HD is a life sciences educational app for preschoolers and early elementary school students.
Kids are mesmerized by animals. What they eat? Where they live? How they act? From slithering snakes and fast cats to jumping dolphins and soaring birds, the wonders of the animal kingdom amaze them. If you’ve got three to six year-olds interested in playing games and learning about animals, the developers of PBS KIDS PLAY! have created an iPad app with this age group in mind.
iLearn With the Mighty Jungle: Animals! HD is a life sciences educational app for preschoolers and early elementary school students that features characters from the Mighty Jungle TV show.
The thought of a three-year-old running across a tile floor holding an iPad is enough to make most anyone cringe. If you’ve got little ones at home using the first generation device, then the Big Grips Frame (case) and Big Grips Stand are a must.
The fun colored Big Grips Frame and Stand are big, squishy and perfect for little hands to grab and hold! Its foam material is flexible, provides plenty of cushion and easy to use with your iPad. Frame installation is a cinch. Just line up the cutouts with the appropriate buttons and ports on your iPad, slide one end of the device into the case and pull the remaining edges over the sides. Once your iPad is tucked safely inside, it’s ready to take on everything your toddler or preschooler can throw at it.
Looking for something fun to do this weekend? How about participating in an adventure on your iPad? Roxie’s a-MAZE-ing Vacation Adventure will keep you and your kids entertained for hours as you maneuver through detailed mazes full of interactive surprises.

Whether you have the iPad or iPad 2, most parents load at least a few educational apps on their device for children. If you’re interested in kids apps, Alphabytes is a new one that helps kids master the alphabet, practice writing, test their memory and learn to spell.
Start Alphabytes and pick one of the four activities. Tap the letters in the left corner of the screen and a bowl of cereal appears. Kids can then select different letters in the bowl to get interactive examples related to each. Hammer a few nails, draw with a pencil, strum the zither and much more in this great app.
Young children really benefit from interactive and engaging content when learning, and Apple’s App Store is full of great educational iPad apps that fit this description. SpinLight Studio’s TallyTots is one such app and it makes learning to count great fun for little ones.
Counting will become a fun activity for kids with this cute interactive app. TallyTots teaches children to count with different activities for them to enjoy and they’ll have a great time racing cars, watering plants, examining cupcakes and much more on their counting journey from one to twenty.

If you have a little girl at home, iStoryApps recently released an adorable iPad book app perfect for your little princess.
Anna is an “extraordinary” young princess who loves roses. She is surrounded by them and has roses in the garden, on her wallpaper and embroidered on her pillow cases. One day during a walk through the garden, Anna discovers a lone rose bush without blooms. Does it need water? Maybe it’s getting too much sunlight. Whatever the case, the young princess is determined to figure out what her little rose bush needs to help it bloom.
Popular app developer Oceanhouse Media announced the release of two entertaining children’s book apps today. The Berenstain Bears Love Their Neighbors and Horton Hears a Who! are universal apps that work on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
Based on the well-known Berenstain Bears series and Dr. Seuss book, these book apps include the same text and original illustrations kids know and love. In The Berenstain Bears Love Their Neighbors, the whole Bear family learns the importance of being a good neighbor and not judging others. Not everyone keeps their home the same way and it takes more than a neat house to be a good neighbor.
Do your kids act like the Big Bad Wolf and try to huff and puff and blow the house down? If so, give them the perfect iPad app and let them go to town. A new version of The Three Little Pigs app just hit the App Store and kids will love it.
Everyone knows the story of the three little pigs and app developer Nosy Crow brings it to life on the iPad. This childhood favorite provides kids with three options to read and enjoy. Read and Play lets youngsters listen to the story, interact with characters and turn pages when they’re ready to advance. The Read to Me option moves through the story automatically without any interaction and Read by Myself allows users to read and play at their own pace.
Oceanhouse Media is at it again! The popular app developer, together with global education leader Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, announced the release of their latest book app today and kids will love it. Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed is a universal app that works on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
Based on the well-known picture book about five little monkeys, this app includes the same funny story and original illustrations that kids know and love. When the monkeys get ready for bed, they take a bath, brush their teeth, put on their PJs and say goodnight to Mama. Just when Mama thinks her day is over and the kids are sleeping in bed, fun is only getting started for the rowdy little monkeys. Each monkey takes a turn jumping on the bed and eventually falls off the bed and bumps his head. It’s then that Mama calls the doctor and the doctor says, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!” What happens next? Read the story with your own little monkeys and laugh together at the funny ending.

Little kids love to play dress-up and now they can do it on the iPad with a cute little app called Swapsies. Large buttons, fun sounds and a simple swipe of a finger will keep children entertained creating characters dressed up to represent a variety of different occupations.
Start the app and kids will see a little boy standing in the middle of the screen. Swipe through the collection of hats, tops and pants to create one of eight occupations. Put the outfits together correctly and kids will see the occupation name appear at the top of the screen and be rewarded with sound. Then tap the music notes at the top of the page when the outfit is complete and hear sounds appropriate for that occupation.
