New PBS Kids iPhone Apps!

Hey scientists - now you can have a microphone just like Sid the Science Kid!

In each episode of Sid the Science Kid, the popular preschool television series airing daily on PBS KIDS, Sid uses his trusty toy microphone to share his questions and ideas. Now all of Sid's friends at home can do the same in real life with the help of an easy-to-use iPhone app. The app is compatible with iPhone and iPod touch and is available FREE through iTunes!

This simple, on screen app allows kids to record their own voices or other sounds, for up to 20 seconds, and then play them back. Even the youngest kids can interact with the buttons to make laughs, applause and animal sounds.

The app can help kids identify the qualities and sources of sound by experimenting with sounds that are quiet or loud, changing the pitch of their voice, or recording things of various distances to see how that sounds.

Download the Sid the Science Kid App now!

Or, you can Build a Word with WordWorld! Children will watch spellbound as the letters D-O-G transform into Dog and a lovable WordFriend jumps to life. Words magically morph into animated WordFriends Dog, Duck, Pig, Ant, Frog, Sheep, Bug, Cow, Cat and Bee, engaging children to spell and read.

The app is now available in the iTunes store for $2.99.

An iPhone kids application you should check out is iStoryTime. It’s a library of narrated and illustrated kids books for the iPhone. There are 6 books available in the Apple AppStore today: http://www.istorytimeapp.com/appstore With new ones coming out every week.

Great for driving in the car, on the airplane, or at a restaurant waiting for the bill when the kids are going crazy.

Books are $1.99/ea from iTunes and can also be purchased on your phone from anywhere. Great for entertaining the kids in a guilt free way. All the wholesomeness of a book with the convenience of your phone.

Enjoy!
