2 Great iPad apps for Kids…

IMG_0469

My friends 5 year old daughter can’t get enough of the iPad when she visits. I have become a total hit amongst kids with my iPad. I have watched which apps are her favourites, is child proof and fun. There are many apps for kids that just get it wrong, it’s all about the money and they don’t have a clue, constant pop ups, ads and purchase buttons to confuse any child.

There are two apps that stands out and they are both from the same developer, namely Toca Boca.

Toca Hair Salon allows you to select various clients to cut their hair. You can select from many different items such as scissors, hairdryer, electric shaver, comb, oil, or even colour the hair. The whole thing is easy and feels therapeutic at the same time. Kids love how the characters pull faces as you cut away. Kids 3 and older will have great fun with this quality well thought out app. When finished take a snapshot with the camera.

Toca Doctor is probably the best loved by my friends daughter.  Various points of injury are pointed out on a patient, it’s your job as a doctor to heal the person. Each problem leads to a simple puzzle or mini game to be solved to heal that area, each one uniquely different from each other. There are 21 games in total and the apps are selling for a low price of $0.99, most people give this 5 stars and I totally concur.
