App Review: Wild Kratts: Creature Math

Wild Kratts, Creature MathEva and I received a code for the new app Wild Kratts Creature Math. This app reinforces kids addition and subtraction skills while they play an entertaining game about managing an animal habitat. Kids sign into the game and can pick a paw print to start up the game. Each paw print is a different saved game so multiple kids can have their own games going at the same time. Kids sign in and are brought to a forest with a large pond, there they start placing animals into the environment. Each animal is added to the environment after the child answers a math problem and then they earn the creature power disk by answering another math problem.

Animals not only need their own homes but also food. Kids can see if an animal is enjoying their environment by a happy or sad face above the animal. If the animal has a red sad face then there is something that it needs. If the face is green then the animal is doing well. Animals in the game are wolves, moose, squirrels, beavers, frogs and more. Kids manage the happiness of the animals in the habitat and can earn badges such as wolf master and other badges showing that they are doing a good job.

The app is entertaining and open ended with math problems easy to work out. My daughter is five and she is doing well with both the addition and subtraction. Continue reading App Review: Wild Kratts: Creature Math

On the Skylanders Hunt Again


Photo-A-Day #2893

Today I picked up two new Skylanders figures which are actually repaints of existing figures, sorta. First I stopped over at Walmart and picked up my pre-ordered Ship to Store Molten Hot Dog which is an exclusive to Walmart. Molten Hot Dog is a bright yellow version of the already released Hot Dog figure that I picked up back in January.

The other figure that I picked up was released today. This is actually a repaint of a figure that hasn’t yet been released. I don’t think I’ve seen a repaint released before the actual figure before but in this case it happened. Toys R Us has exclusives that they call Legendary figures. There were four from the Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure and for Skylanders Giants there are 4 regular sized figures as Legendary and one giant as legendary plus this brand new legendary figure which is also a Lightcore figure. That one is Chill. I like the figure a lot. I just wish that her powers were better. Maybe I’ll try the other upgrade trail and that might be better.

In all it was a good day hunting for Skylanders. We’ve got 10 left to go in the Giants Series and then time to gear up for Skylanders Swap Force.
