Nampa Farm
by Nampa Design
NEW! Open Nampa Farm and explore a cute and quirky little world based purely on exploration. The app does not contain text or talk, so there are no language barriers to face as young people navigate with curiosity, pictures and sounds. Tap and color the barn, blow-dry the sheep, choreograph a disco dance party, and play a tune with chickens. It’s all happening on Nampa Farm!
Lake Hope: Ready for School
by Peekaboo Studios LLC
Lake Hope: Ready for School offers practice in learning and identifying letters, numbers, colors, fruits, shapes, and animals. Words are associated with each object, so that kids learn not just to identify the shape or animal, but the written word for it as well. It does this through a multiple choice format with clean images and is narrated in English and Spanish.
Rocket Launch Seen from the International Space Station
An astronaut took a video of a Russian rocket launch against the curve of the Earth. It’s from 250 miles up, so there are no close-ups, but it’s spectacular and a perspective I’ve never seen before. https://mashable.com/video/rocket-launch-from-space-iss/#6HyyjACXVOqo.
Where Have the Insects Gone?
We’ve all heard about the lack of bees in the past few years. Apparently, it isn’t just bees, but insects in general. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/27/magazine/insect-apocalypse.html
