Awesome App to Help Your Toddler Learn to Spell – So I thought :(

So my 5 year old starts Kindergarten in August and I have this weird feeling like I need him to be prepared. So I’m trying to get him to play more educational games, practice writing, tying his shoes and he has to learn to swim this summer. I’d been looking for a good spelling app for awhile and I finally found Word Magic, $0.99, which was exactly what I was looking for. It has a good database of simple beginner words and cute sounds to make the game as fun as a spelling game is gonna get. Each word is displayed with one letter missing giving the kiddos 4 choices to fill in the blank. You can set it to have the first, last or one of the middle letters missing which is great! I thought, “nice, the boy can play this all day if he wants.” Well, it lasted about 15 words before he wanted to play something else.

The something else of the moment is Plants versus Zombies, $2.99, which I made the mistake of showing my 5 year old. The game is kind of fun, but is very easy. The beginning levels are so simple that my 5 year old can play by himself and get to level 7. He loves this as you parents know the kiddos like to be able to do it themselves :) Anyway, the moral of the story is whether an educational versus mind numbing game, book versus television or banana versus a cookie, my toddler like yours is probably gonna pick the one I would. Dam, there may be no hope for the boy.
