Apple continues to push forward on new interactive platforms for consumers. Beyond the iPhone and iPad, there is now Apple Watch and Apple TV. Not to be left out, kids app makers are tailoring their content to flourish in these new environments. Remote control is no longer just for changing channels, but for moving elements to complete puzzles, solve math equations, or explore enchanted worlds. Congratulations to the developers who lead this technological innovation with educational and family-friendly inventions. Let’s recap what’s new today, in apps for kids, on Apple TV:

Whether they’re into pirates, dinosaurs, trains, gardening, rockets, submarines or farm animals there will be something for them in Wee Puzzles. [The TV version uses the Apple Remote to drag pieces into position.]

Oh No Fractions! by Curious Hat*
