Monster Moogle – A Quirky and Fun Interactive Story for Kids

February 7, 2014 by admin

Screen Shot 2014-02-05 at 5.49.24 PM Monster Moogle is an iPad app that features an interactive story designed to teach students that “monsters” are fiction. The story is narrated by a friendly dog named Butch. In the story Butch tells kids about what people think monsters are. Throughout the story students can interact with the drawings on the page.

Monster Moogle is kind of quirky and it might not be for everyone, but I kind of like the message that monsters are fiction. In the future version of the app students will be able to create their own monsters through a collage process. That feature hasn’t been released yet. When that feature is released I will be more inclined to pay the $1.99 price for the app.

Pango – Interactive iPad Stories and Games for Kids

December 18, 2012 by admin

pango_1Studio Pango produces a bunch of iPad apps that children (pre-K through grade 2) are sure to love. Some of the apps are free and some of the apps require purchase. To get a sense of what the paid apps offer, try the free apps first. This morning I tried two of the free apps. I tried Pango Book 1 and Pango Playground for Kids.

Pango Book 1 is an interactive story in which children help Pango ( little racoon-like character) take a bath, repair his house, play hide and seek, pick apples, and find hidden objects. When Pango takes a bath students scrub him with soap, rinse him off, and gather his bath toys for him. When Pango plays Hide and Seek students help him look behind and under objects. Students help Pango around the house by sawing boards, painting them, then nailing them together to build a birdhouse.

In Pango Playground for Kids children arrange objects in a little virtual town. Kids can find hidden objects, make trains and cars move, and slide down slides. Pango Playground for Kids has one free level. Accessing the other levels requires purchasing the full app.
