Veggie Tales Larry’s Missing Music IPAD App Review

,

Larry's missing music

After recently reviewing Veggie tales- Robin Good and his not so Merry Men I was glad to hear that VeggieTales now has an IPAD App for kids which I could review.  The kids were thrilled to try out this app and loved the crazy story lines which they made using it.

Presented by  Step-by-Story, VeggieTales: Larry’s Missing Music!  is the  latest reading readiness mobile app from Playful Owl.

aimed at helping kids aged 2-6 or pre-reading to early reading. The program focuses on helping the child  in sentence formation, learning of story sequencing and structure through short stories formed through a set of four pictures.

There are 3 sections which you can try. Play, Make and Silly.

Play– The 4 picture sequence story which was selected under make a movie is played.

Make– Create your own story

Silly-  A random sequence of 4 pictures if drawn for you and the story is told.

My boys enjoyed placing  together random set of pictures to form a silly story and playing it so that the character reads out the short story which was just made with animation.

 

You just have to watch the clip below to see it in action.

 

My Thoughts: I feel that this is a good medium for introducing making sentences and story sequences to kids. It makes learning sequencing fun and show’s how easy it is to write a story.  This App does make a good story starter even for older kids.  I tried out this app with my 8 yr old too even though it is recommended for  2-6 yrs old.  Through using this app I was able to explain more to him about story sequencing and that by changing the order of the photos a whole new story could be created.

 

You can purchase this app at the App Store for $2.99

Disclaimer: I received a promo code by the sponsor to redeem and try out the app for review purposes. Opinions are 100% my own.

 

Save Space with a Sofasofa Bed

Do you have guest staying overnight regularly but do not have a guest room in your apartment?

Sofasofa may have  what you are looking for.

Having a pull out sofa bed saves space and solves your problem of accommodating your overnight guest. You just need pull out the bed when needed and it folds away and stores neatly when not in used.

When we first moved into this apartment we bought a sofa bed. We found that it was a good investment as we need not spend extra for guest beds or mattress.  During the day the sofa was comfortable enough to sit on while watching television and entertaining in the living room. At night after it has been turned into a bed it was still comfortable to sleep in.

Our guest who  slept in the sofa bed woke up refreshed on the next day and did not complain about aching backs or stiff necks  as the mattress was sturdy enough to support their body weight. The best thing was that they didn’t even know that the sofa that they were seating on could be turned into a bed as it didn’t look anything like a traditional sofa bed.

I love the ideas of having slip covers on the sofa bed and that they were washable. Many a times it had been hard to maintain and clean a sofa as the fabric use cannot be removed and sent to the laundry to wash.

Do consider getting a sofabed if you are tight on space like we are and have guest popping over regularly.
