Alphabet Jumbled for Your iPad

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

In my home, learning letters is a difficult task. With a learning disabled child, I am always looking for a new, creative, and of course fun way to learn. When given the opportunity to try Alphabet Jumbled for my iPad I was ready to jump on the opportunity.

About Alphabet Jumbled:

Alphabet Jumbled provides 5 fun steps to help young children learn their ABC’s

▶ KNOW YOUR ABC’s - Recognize the 26 letters
▶ FLASH CARDS – Learn the different letters in the alphabet with electronic flash cards
▶ EASY JUMBLE - Start un-jumbling 5 letters jumbles
▶ JUMBLE CHALLENGE - Can you un-jumble all the letters under a minute?

▶ JUMBLE A-Z - Arrange the letters of the alphabet in the correct order in the shortest time possible

This is a great new way to teach your children their ABC’s

My thoughts:

This is a fun new app that will keep your child learning while having fun. I had a difficult time getting my child to use the app unless I was sitting right next to him while he was “playing.” That is not anything new in my home though.  

It is always worth my time to know that I am helping my child learn just by sitting next to them playing a fun and engaging app.

Know that there are distractions in the game. The fish that jump around will cause your child to focus on them. I actually found that this was helpful in teaching my child to ignore distractions. After several attempts and redirection, he was able to continue playing without focusing on the fish.

Apple Pie Kid's Ipad Case Review

I recently received two Apple Pie Kid's Ipad cases at no charge to write a review. I was a little surprised when the case came since they are made of cardboard. Then I realized that these are really designed for children, not for business use.

In my home, our Ipad is an essential tool for working with our special needs child. We can incorporate education and fun while sitting down. But with a special needs child, or any young child for that matter, comes sticky fingers and spills.

The Apple Pie Kid's Ipad case is a way to not have to worry about the sticky fingers. They are inexpensive and recyclable so you do not need to feel like you are wasting money on an expensive case, just to have you child destroy it with applesauce and juice. The extra bonus? They are made in the USA

The cardboard construction is durable. I received one white and one brown (standard cardboard color) case. My children and I decided that they should be decorated to their likings. So they went to work with markers and crayons to make the cases look just the way they wanted.

I will say that the first case has held strong after 2 weeks of constant use by children and adults. The velcro tabs are still working, even with the food crumbs stuck in them. I actually thought that these would not hold up well to the abuse my family would put them through, but they have exceeded my expectations. Also, knowing that they are cheap to replace and an American brand is very comforting.

The Bingo Song HD - Intearctive Sing Along Music App Review

I am not sure if I could find someone out there that does not know the Bingo Song. But with the use of electronics, we can now make the Bingo song into a fun interactive game for our kids.The Bingo Song HD for iPads is a great new way to have your children learn while listening to a song that we already know.

The Bingo Song HD app is available for download in the iTunes store for a reasonable price and has several interactive features. Some of the features of the app are:

• Sing along with Karaoke Mode! 
•  Record your children singing!
• Touch and discover fun surprises in the captivating illustrations.
• Learn about the farm and farm animals with interactive cards
• Original music and colorful illustrations
• Rich animations and activities on all pages
• HD quality graphics and sounds
• Develop fine motor skills
• Fun animations and sounds

The 5 year old on my house loved sitting down and singing along with Bingo. Usually I have a hard time getting him sit down at all, but once he figured out that he could sing and record it, he loved it. He thought that listening to himself sing was the best thing in the world. Bingo HD has become his app of choice during his iPad time.

In addition to the singing of the song, there are other features to the application. There are also cards that teach children about farm animals by asking them questions. This area was a little more difficult for the 5 year old since he has learning disabilities, but he likes to click through and ask me for the answers that he does not know. This is an area that he will need to use more for the repetition to help him learn.

I imagine that there is a pretty limited age group that would enjoy this app but currently my children fit right in the age group and truly enjoy singing and learning (and of course listening to themselves) with Bingo HD.

Apple iPad Wi-Fi 16 GB – 3rd generation

Pick up the iPad and suddenly, it’s clear. You’re actually touching your photos, reading a book, playing the piano. Nothing comes between you and what you love. To make that hands-on experience even better, they made the fundamental elements of iPad better – the display, the camera, the wireless connection. All of which makes the third-generation iPad capable of so much more than you ever imagined. Everything you do with iPad, you do through its large, beautiful display. And when the display is better, the entire iPad experience is better. The Retina display on the iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, 44-percent greater color saturation, and an astounding 3.1-million pixels – in the same 9.7-inch space. That’s four times the number of pixels in iPad and a million more than an HDTV. Those pixels are so close together, your eyes can’t discern individual ones at a normal viewing distance. When you can’t see the pixels, you see the whole picture. Or article. Or game. In ways you never could before.

Product Features

• 9.7 Retina Display; 2048 x 1536 Resolution
• Apple iOS 5; Dual-Core A5X Chip with Quad-Core Graphics
• 5 Megapixel iSight Camera; 1080p Video Recording
