Homeschool parents, this one is for you! This app is available for Apple & Android devices! Now you can read “The Old Schoolhouse Magazine” at home or on the go for FREE!
These are very interactive apps. You can watch videos, zoom in on advertisers, web links to order, and more!
Here’s the links! Apple App – FREE Android App – FREE
If you enjoy reading Christian Fiction, I came across a site on Facebook this week that is offering some FREE books for your computer, Kindle, Nook, etc. There is even a FREE movie or two, but only for a limited time.
Happy reading!
**(When I downloaded these apps they were free, I cannot guarantee if they started charging a fee.) **
SKEE-BALL!!! I love skee-ball. We live near the east coast and head to the beach every year. After a day on the beach, we find an arcade and play skee-ball. Now, we don’t have to wait for the summer. Currently, it’s snowing and we are playing Skee-Ball in the house.
This app is only compatible for an iPad. You gain points by playing skee-ball and then you get to pick out “prizes” to spend your tickets on. This is a good one for the whole family.
SIMON’S CAT IN “PURRFECT PITCH” – If your not familiar with Simon’s Cat Cartoons. Simon’s Cat is drawn by Simon Tofield an English Animator, who can draw a cat’s temperament “purrfectly”.
This app is available for the itouch, iPhone and iPad. With this one you play the piano, but when you hit the key the cat meows. It’s really funny. Funny Quick Story – My daughter and I were waiting in line to see Santa in December and I brought along my iTouch. She started playing Simon’s Cat and the people around us started laughing. All you heard was meowing. (I guess you had to be there;-)). There are options of “Free Play, Challenge, and Play Back”. Lots of fun!
RIO THE MOVIE COLORING WITH BLU – Remember this movie? We enjoyed it and downloaded it.
This app is available for iPad, iPhone and iTouch.
You color. It’s that simple. Choose one of two birds and the background. The color pallet is at the bottom on the screen and your off and coloring! When you done you can save it and email, post it to Facebook or print it!
OK! Get your cats ready for a frenzy! I got an email earlier this week from Friskies about an app for Cats. I haven’t tried it on mine yet, they are currently sleeping (surprise, surprise). Here it is!
It’s CAT FISHING 2 BY FRISKIES –
So, you start it up and let your cat go. The fish start swimming around and your cat taps them and gets a score. The more fish you cat taps the harder the game gets. There are 3 levels and you can post their score to Facebook or the “World-Wide Leader Board”.
It’s again only available for iPhones, iTouch and iPads.
Let your kitties in on the fun too!

Free Lego Club Magazine Subscription!**(When I downloaded these apps they were free, I cannot guarantee if they started charging a fee.) **
I completely forgot about all the phones and tablets out there that are not an “I” product. To those, I apologize if these apps are not available for your product. Otherwise, I was pleasantly surprised with the positive feedback from the last Free Kids Apps post! Thank you and Enjoy!
Toddler Puzzle Shapes – This app is compatible for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. You are able to turn the music on or off and is available in 5 different languages. This app is for your little ones. When you press start, you are given 5 different shapes and a ghost outline of one of the shapes. Your child will then drag the correct shape to the ghost shape. After every 3rd choosing of the shape a jigsaw (4 pieces) appears. When you select a puzzle piece, it glows where the piece should go. In the tools section, you are able to turn off the jigsaw section.
PBS Kids Video – Compatible with iPhone & iPad. Got any kids that love Elmo? He’s on this app along with SUPER WHY, Curious George, Cat in the Hat and others! However, this is not a game your child can watch videos of their favorite educational friends.
Barnyard Mahjong Free – This one is also compatible with the iphone & ipad. This is for the bigger kids (and this Mom!) If you’ve ever played a Mahjong game you know it’s addictive. If you haven’t, all you do is match the tiles and you’ll catch “the addict bug”. The tiles in this one are animals, fruits, veggies and the farmer, so it’s easier for kids.
Happy Downloading!

Personally, I’m over the Angry Birds frenzy. How about you? For the next few weeks I’m going show you 3 apps that my daughter (she’s 3) and I enjoy. Most of these apps are directed toward the little ones, but there are a few along the way that your older kids might like as well.
Like most free games on iTunes, they are not the entire version. They want to get you hooked so you’ll buy it. So, far that hasn’t affected our home and we are happy with what we got.
The first one is called ABC Animal Puzzle Free. This game is compatible with an iPhone and iPad. This is not a complete version. However, still very playable for your younger ones. It’s a puzzle game. There are 5-9 piece puzzles. Besides the puzzle you are learning animals names, for example there is an elephant puzzle and it says ELEPHANT when you are completing it. Also, on this app is a Memory Game. (Click the bubbles on the bottom right corner to activate the menu). There is a stickers & score card section that let’s you know which puzzles you’ve completed and how long it took.
Baby DJ – this one can get a little annoying after a while, but is still cute! This app is currently available for the iPhone and iPad. Got a little musician in your house? Here’s the app for you. There are 10 options on this one. Anywhere from a lion to an octopus. Even Santa Claus makes his way onto this app. Once you choose an animal, the next screen opens to 9 “records” (like the good ol’ black vinyl records). You touch a record and it spin and start a beat. Then as you continue pressing the records, they sync up. Then press them again and that record turns off. Each animal has different beats.
The last one for this week is Glow Draw! Again, this one is available for the iPhone and iPad. All kids love to draw and this app is kind of like etch a sketch. You draw and then shake your device to erase it. On the lower left you can change colors,make your line wider, put a background of your pictures loaded on your device and save or email you pictures!
Fun FREE apps for kids! Now it’s your turn to share you favorite apps!

I’m always looking for ways to save on toys and games. Sometimes it’s not always easy. I’m big on buying stuff on sale or clearance and saving it for a rainy day or holiday. I was super excited about an email I got this morning! I LOVE coupons and use them regularly.
Go and check out www.hasbro.com/fun . They have great coupons for Playdough, Transformers, Baby Alive, Elmo and more! In addition, they have a daily game for 6 to 13 year olds, are giving away Hasbro toys & games every hour until the end February. AND – they have a daily deal. Today’s was a Baby Alive for 50% off! I unfortunately missed it, but I signed up to get the daily email for a heads up!
