Angelina Ballerina’s Bubble Pop! By Callaway Digital Arts, Inc.

  • November 28, 2011 8:40 am

Angelina Ballerina’s Bubble Pop! By Callaway Digital Arts, Inc. is a simple and fun app for kids. The idea is that Angelina thinks of a bubble color and your job is to pop only that color bubble. It is pretty challenging once you play for a few minutes. There are also special bubbles you can click which give you additional chances (lives).

Angelina Ballerina’s Bubble Pop! By Callaway Digital Arts, Inc. has a simple interface that is easy for a small child to navigate. Your child can start the game from the back seat of the car, play a few games and move on to the next game when they are ready.

Will Angelina Ballerina’s Bubble Pop! By Callaway Digital Arts, Inc. teach your child anything? Like most games your child will learn some hand eye coordination, they will learn to pay attention to a changing environment, to listen carefully to instructions, and they will have some fun too!

As usual we have the Angelina Ballerina’s Bubble Pop! By Callaway Digital Arts, Inc. surrounding our kids’ iPad2. We love this cover and sincerely recommend it! Do not forget to pick up the stand too!

Fun – 4
Attention – 4
Learning – 2 (this is a fun app, but you learn a little)

Total – 10

Big Grips Frame for iPad and iPad2

  • November 25, 2011 1:35 pm

We have had the Big Grips Frame for iPad 2 – Pink in our house for about 45 days. We were waiting for today, Black Friday, to publish our review. A month is long enough to get it a little dirty (it cleans up with a damp rag) and fall in love with it. If you are sharing your iPad with a small child (and if you aren’t you must REALLY like games made for kids if you are here) the Big Grips Frame for iPad 2 – Pink is a must have accessory.

The Big Grips Frame for iPad 2 – Pink is made from a soft yet firm foam. The colors are vibrant and as I mentioned before, it cleans up easily. Does the Big Grips Frame for iPad 2 – Pink protect the iPad? Definitely. I would be comfortable with my four year dropping or even tossing the iPad a few feet! It sounds crazy, but this is some serious protection.

Not only does the Big Grips Frame for iPad 2 – Pink protect the iPad, but the Big Grips Stand, Matching Color for Big Grip Frame – Pink that goes along with it is great for playing games and the iPad just about lives in the Big Grips Stand, Matching Color for Big Grip Frame – Pink now too.

The case itself makes it easy for the youngest hands to handle the iPad safely and effectively. As soon as we put the Frame on the iPad my four year old started referring to her iPad as her computer instead. She gets mad if we call it her iPad now since it is a computer in the new case. Awesome! She has spent a lot more time in many of the apps because they are just easier to use now.

Most recently we were playing Real Racing 2 HD and she was able to drive like, well, you might expect a four year old to drive, but gripping the iPad was a piece of cake.

The case does add a bit of bulk, but with kids we are used to carrying an extra bag for diapers or snacks or whatever, and this case does not add too much bulk. As I note in the video it does make it harder to plug in the iPad, but there is a simple solution to that as I show in the video too. The extra padding keeps little fingers from the controls, which is good for younger kids while my four year old can get to the controls just fine.

Seriously. Get one of these things and check out the video while you are waiting for amazon to deliver it :)
