Curious George’s Town App for Kids {Prize Pack Giveaway}

Our iPhones and iPad are filled with apps for the kids. There are drawing apps, counting apps, and my daughter has even managed to discover various ways to watch her television shows. {Sigh}

Curious George was one of my favorite characters as a child. I remember reading the books featuring that beloved monkey dressed in yellow over and over again. So naturally I encouraged my daughter to check out Curious George’s Town app. Let me just tell you, she didn’t need much encouraging. And when I got a more in-depth look at this app, I must say that I was impressed. It’s not just a fun reading or television show program, but a fun, interactive game that encourages and rewards children for good deeds.

I took a few screenshots while we were using the app, and I liked the visual overview provided for parents.

And the one provided for the children using the app. Emma is having a great time playing, and I can always use the encouragement for her to help out around the house. It’s a win-win for everyone!

More about Curious George’s Town app:

Curious George’s Town for iPad ® and iPhone ®, was developed for pre-school to kindergarten-aged children. Curious George’s Town aims to teach children smart saving and spending habits while engaging kids in creating a virtual world complete with roller coasters, dinosaurs and farm animals. By accomplishing real-world and in-app challenges, children earn virtual coins they can use to purchase a variety of items to create their very own town. Based on the principle of deferred gratification, the app introduces the concepts of strategic planning and careful spending in order to accomplish a goal. The app features a unique reward chart that parents and caregivers can customize by assigning a specific coin value to a list of real-world tasks – such as cleaning up toys. Kids can also supplement their stockpile of virtual savings by tackling in-app educational games such as alphabetizing books at Curious George’s library and collecting the correct items at the grocery store. Guided and narrated by the convivial Man with the Yellow Hat, the fun and engaging app also reinforces concepts like correct spelling, reading and matching.
