Sid the Science Kid Read & Play iPad Review (and Other iPad Apps for Kids)

By Bloggerfather @bloggerfather
So now that I have an iPad, I love trying new apps for my boy. I'm not as possessive about the iPad as I am about my phone (especially since I bought a military-grade-explosion-surviving-iPad-case), and I'm happy to find any iPad app that doesn't involve my boy running away from killer monkeys (because only I'm allowed to play Temple Run).
One place I find apps is Smart Apps For Kids. I've signed up for email updates from them, and I get alerts when cool kids' apps become free (iPhone and iPad), or when the site has a cool giveaway (like a recent iPad giveaway, because only losers have a single iPad).


Also, while I'm here, I received from the PBS people free codes for a few PBS iPad apps to review, and my favorite is the new Sid the Science Kid app ("Read & Play").
The app includes coloring books, spot the differences, read-along stories, sing-along videos, jokes, sticker books, and more. And this time, Susie the teacher is a part of the app! Hello, Susie!

Right now, the Sid the Science Kid app costs $2.99 on iPhone and iPod Touch, and $3.99 on iPad. Like I said, I got a free one to review.
