As I type this it's half term and the weather is miserable outside. It can be hard to juggle everything at once sometimes, especially when you are cooped up indoors with two young children who both need so much of your attention. That's where our tablet and the iPad comes to the rescue. I think with moderation they can be excellent not just for entertainment but for learning too. This half term I've found myself encouraging Noah to play quietly on it for half an hour in the afternoon whilst I attempt to get Ava to nap upstairs, though my efforts are usually futile because she doesn't sleep!
With this in mind I'm always looking for new and exciting apps and games for Noah to try out and there’s a lot to celebrate in the Little Kingdom, with two brand new apps, Magic School and Big Star Fun, available to download now!
In BIG STAR FUN your little ones can join Princess Holly, Ben and Gaston as they fly through the Little Kingdom! There are 4 interactive games with different difficulty levels that young players can enjoy - plus a special reward STICKER BOOK! Featuring the popular characters and music from the much-loved TV show - this enchanting app offers children a fun and interactive experience they can enjoy time and time again. Available to buy here on both Apple and Android.
Budding little Elves and Fairies can now join Ben and Holly at MAGIC SCHOOL! In this app they learn magic through a variety of creative and magical games, where they can graduate and earn their very own Magic Certificate. Fun activities include: Wand Creator, Wand Practice, Potion Making, Magic Picnic, Box of Burps, Magic Jelly and End of School Photo. With in-game instructions and encouragement from Nanny Plum, Ben & Holly's MAGIC SCHOOL is guaranteed to offer hours of magical mayhem and fun! Available to here but for Apple only.
