Last weekend, we were waiting in a cafe for breakfast in an area that's not really... family friendly. We'd gone prepared.
Hunter was playing on our iPad and Charlotte had my iPhone. Several tables away another family tried to cajole their son who was melting down while they waited for their breakfast.
Some local, hungover hispters staring at the poor mother with that look. You know the one that says "It's bad enough you reproduced. Please don't ruin our Sunday morning with your mistakes."
I looked over and smiled and she mouthed back, "I forgot my iPhone!"
It seems like iPad and iPhones are fast becoming the new security blankets.
I'm always on the lookout for new apps for my children and have two prerequisites when making my selections. They either have to be educational or well designed.
One of Hunter & Charlotte's favourites when they were younger was Peekaboo Barn. (Don't you love it?) The creators, Day & Night Studios have a great app, Peekaboo Trick or Treat, which is perfect for the Halloween holiday.
Cute Halloween creature pop onto the screen in a kooky haunted house. Your children hear and see words associated with Halloween and listen to a cute 4 year old narrator. (You can also opt for an adult narrator if you're concerned about pronunciation.) It's great fun!
Peekaboo Trick or Treat is available at the Halloween app store for $1.99
