Super fun iPhone, iPad and Kindle Apps from @PBSkids to help your little ones learn through play #free

We love our iPad, and I know a lot of my friends couldn’t go without their iPhone; even our kids are more iPhone savvy then we are. One of our all time favorite company PBS Kids just released a few amazing new Apps for your kids to enjoy; trust me; you don’t wanna miss these. The price is just right as well. Some are FREE!! Be sure to check them all out below; my Princess can’t get enough of the Dinosaur train right now.

I was super excited when I just opened my e-mail from PBS KIDS. They released two new, educational apps for kids from their hit TV series DINOSAUR TRAIN and THE ELECTRIC COMPANY! Meant to encourage math and literacy skills, the apps use familiar characters from the series and interactive, engaging games to practice skills such as counting, measurement, geometry, telling time and much more!

In The Electric Company Party Game: Lost on Prankster Planet, the newest app from PBS KIDS and Sesame Workshop, children use their math and literacy skills to help Marcus and Jessica escape from Prankster Planet and get back to Earth!  Based on the multi-Emmy award-winning TV show, THE ELECTRIC COMPANY, The Electric Company Party Game: Lost on Prankster Planet app for iPad and Kindle Tablet allows kids to complete wacky challenges, counting races, silly brainstorms, math questions and more.  They will add, draw, discuss, think, act, problem solve, and dance their way back to Earth, all while practicing skills in subjects including geometry, data analysis and graphing, telling time and more!

DINOSAUR TRAIN Classic in the Jurassic, Jr.!: $1.99; iPad In this app, based on the hit PBS KIDS science-focused series, DINOSAUR TRAIN, kids play through three math-based games focused on sorting, balance and counting to help Gilbert get Troodon Town ready for the big event – the Classic in the Jurassic, Jr games!

Games:

• Bridge Builder: Help build bridges so the dinosaurs can get around Troodon Town!  Drag your finger to measure the distance between two points, then choose the two sets of logs that equal the right length to complete the bridge.
• Chow Time: The dinosaurs are hungry! Add food to the scale until it’s balanced. When you’ve got it right, watch them chow down!
• All-Star Sorting: Put the dinosaurs in order by height.  When you’ve got them in the right order, drag them to the house they belong to!

Also, don’t forget the super fun Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood App.. my princess LOVES it!! She definitely will give it two thumbs up and we have it on both the iPad and the iPhone for on the go. You can load it HERE.

In addition to playing the app, kids can continue the Classic in the Jurassic, Jr adventures with seven free math games online at HERE. The apps were developed as part of the Ready To Learn Initiative, an early learning project of PBS KIDS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
