Friday Faves - The New York World's Fair and Frozen Fruit Bars

My first Friday Fave this week is an amazing iPad app, available at iTunes:  NYPL Biblion:  World's Fair.  This free app is all about the 1939 New York World's Fair.  The app was constructed by the New York Public Library and it is beautifully done.  History, art, architecture, popular culture -- it is all here.  I have just started playing with this app and enjoy it so much.  I hope you do, too!  (Pictured above:  the Futurama exhibit from the 1939 New York World's Fair.)

My second fave (and new discovery here):   Edy's Outshine Fruit Bars.  They are all natural frozen fruit juice bars and absolutely delicious.  Perfect for a summer snack!   It's been so hot and humid here this summer.  I am craving a grape juice Fruit Bar right now.  :-)

Wishing you a fun weekend!

Review: Heroes of the City Baby App

I enjoyed reviewing the Heroes of the City toys, books, and app a couple of months ago (more information, click here!).  Heroes of the City has a new app, and this one is for babies and toddlers (ages 0 - 2+).  This app is available at iTunes, for iPad or iPhone, and it is also available via Google Play for Android phones and tablets.

The app is colorful, educational, and entertaining for the youngest children.  It is also free!   It features:

• 3 animated short movies (Languages: English and Swedish )
• Music Panel with two different themes
• Color and shape game
• Magic coloring game
• Balloon Game

You can find movies from the app on Youtube as well.   Here is one of the videos:

The Heroes of the City products are especially well designed and engaging for children.  I highly recommend this app!
