This week, Star Stable lets kids dress up, play with horses, explore a detailed house and stable, and make up their own stories in free play. Plus, relax with customizable Thanksgiving themed puzzles.
My City: Star Stable
By My Town Games
Star Stable is one of the latest dollhouse style apps from My Town Games. It features a house, barn, show-jumping area and more, along with people, horses and plenty of things to do. Kids can explore the areas, interact with all sorts of objects from toys to light switches to saddles and more, dress characters, find keys for special doors, care for and ride horses, and even having the horses jump obstacles on the competition course. Star Stable includes the option to travel to other parts of the My Town world, but these require the purchase of additional apps. The production values are impressive, and Star Stable is a fun way to bring horses into the dollhouse genre.
Thanksgiving Puzzles – Fall Holiday Games for Kids
By Scott Adelman
Thanksgiving Puzzles is a puzzle app with a holiday theme. There are options to set the number of pieces in the puzzle from 9 up to 24, and options to show the background and puzzle piece outlines to make the puzzle easier or harder to complete. The puzzle tray, however, only shows 12 pieces at once, with the others off-screen and a shuffle button to show different pieces if the one you are looking for is not visible. Each puzzle plays a simple animation once complete, and items float from the top that can be popped into a shower of fall leaves. Despite being an older app, the graphics hold up, and the puzzles work well. You can try four puzzles for free, with eight additional puzzles and options available for a reasonable single in-app purchase.
