Who’s Hiding There?
by Kooma Studio Inc.
Find all of the animal friends in this storybook app for toddlers and preschoolers. Who’s Hiding There? presents a simple story of cute animals playing a game of hide and seek in the forest. The story asks kids to find the animals, or move them across a river, as the story progresses. Animation, graphics and narration are all exceptionally well done, although it does not highlight the words as they are read.
Color Quest AR
by Stayhealthy
Color Quest AR, as the name suggests, is a augmented reality app and coloring book. Kids choose a character, color them with on screen pencil crayons, and then can see their creation brought to life in their home or classroom (and take photos or videos if they wish). The characters are all friendly fruits, vegetables, or organs (heart, brain), and all come with healthy facts when you view them.
