by Christina Refford | Websites We Love

Hi Cool Mom Tech! Any suggestions for websites that have a good selection of free online games for kids (3rd grade/elementary school level) that are educational, but also FUN for them…so they won’t realize that they’re actually learning? I’d...

Keep those preschool brains fresh this summer

by Jeana | Best Apps, Educational Apps

We keep hearing about summer brain drain for kids who are on summer vacation. But for those ambitious parents out there who are already eying the Ivy Leagues for their toddlers (oh not you, of course), it’s never too early to start making pathways between those...

Nerdy babies know that B is for binary code

by Delilah S. Dawson | Best Apps, Educational Apps

Our first child was born perfect. Ten fingers, ten toes. Still, we had to wait a couple of years to see if she had inherited one very important trait. When she picked up her first lightsaber at age nineteen months, we knew. We had a nerdy baby. And there was much...

Teaching the US presidents with the help of aliens

by Christina Refford | Best Apps, Educational Apps

Most of us know that George Washington was the first president and Al Gore was never one, but there are a whole lot of years in the middle there that are not my strong suit. That’s why I love a new app that helps my kids and me brush up on our U.S. history in an...

3 ways to use your iPad with young children

by Cool Mom Staff | Tips and Tricks

The new PBS website drives the Earth Day message home

The new PBS website drives the Earth Day message home

by Christina Refford | Best Apps, Educational Apps

If I want my kids to celebrate Earth Day every day, it helps if they understand the little issues that all add up to make big changes. In other words: Why I screech when they forget to recycle a piece of paper. (I admit it. I screech.) That’s why I applaud PBS...

I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow on your iPad

I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow on your iPad

by Cool Mom Staff | Best Apps, Educational Apps

When my children discovered the Three Little Pigs storybook app on a friend’s iPad, I had absolutely zero doubt in my mind that we’d be running home to purchase it that very night. In a word, this app is masterful. Or to use more words, it’s...

The Eric Carle app: Your children’s very first books become their Very First app.

by Cool Mom Staff | Best Apps, Educational Apps

My gadgets overflow with cool apps for my older kids, but when it comes to my toddler, it’s tough to find ones that are engaging and educational, but not overstimulating. So leave it to the talented folks at Night & Day Studios (makers of the...
The British are coming! And they’re here for your children.

The British are coming! And they’re here for your children.

by Betsy | Best Apps, Educational Apps

Today there are tons of toddler apps that not only keep kids entertained, but also teach basic concepts like, colors, shapes and counting in ways that are a lot more engaging than my method of repeating over and over: Green ball. Three Cheerios. Hey, that’s how...
