Reviews
Lazzo’s Squiggles app is great for early hand writers! Just make some squiggly marks and watch what happens you hit go. Kids love the cause and effect aspects of this app. I love using this app with a stylus for young children to introduce early handwriting concepts.
I love Timer + Touch HD! I tis my favorite visual timer to use with children. Kids love how the timer turns green in the last minute. I also love that it continues to run while you use other apps or ignore your iPad!
Choiceworks Calendar is an incredible app that allows you to make individualized calendars for children. I love the countdown features and being able to add in my own pics!
Kids LOVE this app! Rachel calls if you have success or an accident! Kids adore the sticker chart, getting calls and the book inside the app. Parent solve that they can have all of these tools with them wherever they go.
