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.
