Motorola APPy Hour – Fun Apps For Kids

August 2, 2012 : BY Motorola

It’s great having the kids around during the summer, but sometimes a little distraction can go a long way in helping parents, caregivers and babysitters keep the noise to a dull roar. These apps from the Google Play Store are not only fun, but can be educational as well, so you don’t have to feel guilty about getting some well-deserved quiet time.

Crazy Farm HD (Android 2.0 or higher)

The rooster rings in the morning with a cock-a-doodle-do, the cow mooos as she gets milked, the chickens cluck as they lay their eggs, and the sheep baaaaaas as the sheers cut its wool. A day at the farm is very long as there are many animals and lots of work to be done. But it’s also very fun!

Sleepy Jack (Android 2.2 or higher)

Each night Jack dreams of his favorite toys: laser-blasting Galaxianoids, gunpowder-packed desert dwellers, electricity zapping creatures of the Deep Deep Sea and Crazy Bosses! Help Sleepy Jack fly, dodge, collect, shoot, and bomb his way through 40 dazzling dream worlds in this console-quality 3D flying game!

Color and Draw (Android 3.0 and higher)

A complete art world for kids: color, play with stickers, or draw over photos!
Color & Draw is a complete artistic solution for TABLETS. It invites kids to draw, color and decorate drawings or photographs. Coloring pages have voice over invitations to get their creative juices flowing.

PlayTales (Android 2.1 and higher)

We love reading, we love pictures, we love games and we love familiar faces! PlayTales offers interactive books: traditional and classic, popular and new, for toddlers and beginning readers that will engage them in books and stories once again.

Motorola APPy Hour: kid-friendly edition

May 30, 2012 : BY Motorola

The minute you set your phone down, your kid picks it up. The tablet you bought as a “family” gift hasn’t left your tween’s room since January. Thanks to your toddler, your last Facebook status update was “a@&89l;’.”

Any of these sound familiar? From tots to tweens, kids love tech. They take after their parents, after all! The next time your mini me reaches for your smartphone or tablet, make sure it’s loaded with some apps designed just for kids.

Jungle Math for Kids


A visually stunning math exercise game that helps kids build basic math skills. Jungle Math transports your child to a tropical rain forest to learn addition and subtraction, building math, logic and reasoning skills.

Green Eggs and Ham


This app combines the original text and artwork of a Dr. Seuss classic, with professional narration and background audio. To promote reading in young children, individual words are highlighted as the story is read and words zoom up when pictures are touched.

Fling a Thing (Free)


A simple and fun game where you fling cute little characters into the air to collect bubbles. When you’ve cleared away all the bubbles, you move on to the next level. Keep going and you’ll meet some really bizarre objects!

A Moon For The Sky (Free)


Help the land of Astrolunia! Send a new moon into the sky, to restore the ecosystem. But watch out—there will be obstacles in your way. Simple gameplay with progressive difficulty and many elements to unlock.
