There is no winning, losing, time limits, coins, levels, etc. t’s just kids playing with virtual toys instead of real ones. Plus, their design aesthetic […]

Goody goody gum drops, it’s time for a new Toca Boca app! And this one feels particularly robust with lots of creativity. Toca Tailor is basically a Project Runway app for kids. I love that they didn’t call it Fashion Party or some other nonsense, which allows any child – boy or girl – to […]

They’ve done it again! I have a mega-crush on Swedish iPhone/iPad app company Toca Boca. We own every single one of their apps – and even if they hadn’t provided review copies of a couple, including Toca Train – I’d buy them anyway without pause.

Particularly with this genre-bending concept: digital toys versus digital games. We all have examples of games and educational apps for kids (abcs, colors, etc.) But Toca Boca […]

Our absolute favorite apps around this house are always from Toca Boca. We own every single one, and Birdie navigates to the Toca Boca folder on my ipad with extreme regularity!

The holidays are drawing nigh, and with them comes the dreaded holiday road trips. We have a couple trips coming up between now and the 25th, and the DVD player will definitely be in rotation. Plus, there is always the what-to-do-with-the-kids at a different toy-free home. That (and ok, at restaurants throughout the year) is […]

Wow what a week over here! We had a little preview of our new schedule this fall: Birdie went to a morning day camp at her new Montessori school. It’s been fascinating to watch her slowly growing to enjoy all the new experiences and independence. (no tears! I’m so happy for that!) On the flip […]
