Hello mommies,

if like me you have lovely children found of puzzles, real ones
on a table or on Internet, I have found a really great app for
those owning an iPhone or iPad !

A friend of mine told me about this game you play with your own
pictures ! So instead of playing with always the same boring
images, here you can take a photo of their favorite toy/doll,
pet, loving daddy, friends, any activity you are having with
them, or even a self-portrait and go !

My kids (3, 6 and 8 years old) became real fans !
Obviously I do not leave them too long in front of a screen,
but for the price of a coffee you have a game you can bring
anywhere with you, renewable at will and with pictures
everyone loves. Moreover it is an educational/logic game,
not a soulless or violent one.

By the way, do you know any other apps like this one you could
recommand ? I do not let my children spend too much time on my
devices, but sometimes it can help to have a little funny game
within easy reach : for car trips, dinner out...

Thanks for your advices and helping me building a good educational
app list !

Oh yes it is called Puzzlemylife and link is

Hi Christa,

many thanks for your answer and the link to the article. It will help me with my app list !
Yes matching/memory games are great for children.

I also discovered a smart app about animals :

It is as beautiful as a children book about animals, but in addition you have the sounds
when you touch the pictures ! My daughter loves it !

Have a nice day !
Lili.

I don't know the name of the app..I have yet to up-grade to an iphone/pad/etc lol but my sister has an app that my 3yr old daughter just loves; it's a matching/ memory game and it's Dora.
Also I love Parents magazine and they just recently did an article on educational apps for kids. Here's the link to find the article online :)
