Your child can tag along with Meredith, Tom, Susan, and Nicholas as they venture into the Enchanted Garden. Along the way they’ll meet unicorns, green mountain goats, a blue elephant, and other crazy characters that can be interacted with with a tap. Interactions are indicated by sparkles, so your child will never miss a moment of fun. The app includes 20 pages and professional narration.

It needs to access your iDevice's library to discover videos and photos. You can then grab one second from each video to include in your final compilation or just select photos. Once you have one second for each day of the month, year, or a select period of time, the app will merge it all into one memorable video. You can share your video via Facebook or YouTube. 1 Second Everyday also now includes a crowds section, where you can submit a second of your life to be a part of the group.

As the train goes speeding along down the rails, your child can tap on the different cars to reveal animals. Each animal’s name is spoken aloud and accompanied by the sound they make. The app includes 15 animals illustrated exclusively for Peek-a-Zoo, two modes, and a soundtrack full of whimsical sounds.

They’re able to design multiple rooms in their house by dragging and dropping items into place. The app includes more than 250 items to choose from, which can be moved, resized, and rotated via common gestures. Your child can also use photos from your iPad’s library as the backdrop for their interior in place of the built-in ones. When they’re finished designing, their work can be saved as an image to the photo library.

They're able to choose from four different modes and four difficulty levels. They will then be presented with a series of math problems, and they must try to answer them as quickly and efficiently as possible. The neat thing is, your kids can just write their answers right on the screen since Quick Math features an advanced handwriting recognition engine.

Math problems are displayed at the top of the screen, and your child is required to drag or roll a marbles through the mazes to collect items to solve them. The game includes three difficulty levels, 24 marble styles, customizable gameplay, and multiple math concepts.

In each stage you’re given a song that you must recreate by placing pieces on the board. Just hit play and watch as the pieces slide across tiles on their own, creating music as they bounce off of the walls. After listening to your loop, you’re able to adjust the pieces in order to recreate the musical pattern. The game includes 20 challenging stages of original music, hundreds of samples, and the ability to perform completed songs and remixes.

It allows you to compare flight, hotel, and car rental deals in a flash. You can also book hotels right from the app, and manage your entire itinerary. The app includes a bunch of other handy tools as well, like a flight status tracker, currency converter, baggage fee calculator, and more than 100 airport terminal maps.
