Fonta has a ridiculous amount of text options, allowing you to stand out from the crowd. Before you get to that point, however, you can edit your original photo by cropping, rotating, framing, filtering, and blurring it. Then come up with a message you want to drive home, and place it wherever you like on your photo. You’re able to select from a wide variety of fonts, colors, opacity levels, and even layer your text. There are also loads of frame and artwork options to choose from. Fonta allows you to share your creations via Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Sometimes the best apps are the simplest, and that’s just the case with Printability. Once installed on your iDevice, launch Mobile Safari and tap on the share button.

The next time you need to capture a page, simply tap on the Printability icon within the share menu. Printability will grab the page and allow you to adjust its size and layout before saving it as a PDF.

Put those little fingers to work on the farm.

The entire time they will be learning and won't even know it. Your child will be guided along every step of the way, so just hand your iPad off and allow them to enjoy the experience.
