Yes, Virginia, there is a tooth fairy. This app proves it.

The tooth fairy should just set up a room in our house with all the visits she’s been making lately. My kindergartner wakes up in the morning after a lost tooth to whatever she’s left behind and the tooth fairy once again reigns supreme, at least until the...

An app that makes it okay to pick your nose

by Betsy | Fun Apps for Kids

I have a confession to make. While I was checking out the Faces iMake App for iPhone and iPad, supposedly designed for kids, I got absolutely hooked. The create-a-collage premise of the app is simple enough for a four year-old, and even a forty(something), to jump...

Minding your Peas and Quinces

by Cool Mom Staff | Fun Apps for Kids

I’m still on the fence about toddlers and technology. (Should I be admitting that here?) There are times when I look at my daughter effortlessly swiping through pictures on my iPhone and I marvel at the absurdity of it all. Then there are other times–like...

The cat in the app

by Christina Refford | Fun Apps for Kids

For the past few months, my kids have been obsessed with an app that has them yelling, singing and — yes — screaming at a cat who then repeats everything back to them in his own weird voice. Harmless fun but no redeeming educational value. Or so I thought....

Cupcake making without cavity making

by Cool Mom Staff | Fun Apps for Kids

To say my girls are obsessed with the range of cake, cupcake, Jell-O mold, and cookie making/decorating iPhone apps out there is an understatement. It’s like the EZ-Bake Ovens of the smartphone era: So fun for kids, it doesn’t even matter whether they eat...

Paper Dolls as fabulous, adorable, must-have iPhone app

by Cool Mom Staff | Fun Apps for Kids

We don’t recall that we’ve ever seen a reaction to an iPhone app as we did with the Paper Town Friends app that we recently posted at Cool Mom Picks. Comments! Downloads! Facebook “likes” galore! And I’m not surprised in the least. This...

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz

Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks

We even have the privilege of sharing our tips + tricks with The TODAY Show, CNN, HLN, GMA, Nightline, newspapers and magazines around the country, and our favorite -- regular parents who stop us at PTA meetings and ask us how old kids need to be to get a smartphone, and whether they really need to panic about Snapchat.

We're so glad you're here! And we hope we can help you too.
