App Alert: Craft an Amazing Superhero in Playworld Superheroes

Playworld Crafting Station

Did you ever pretend that you were a superhero? Maybe you tied a dish towel around your neck and jumped off a wall while pretending to be an epic hero.

If you ever dressed up and played pretend superhero than Playworld Superheroes is the app for you and your kids. I was given a code for the new app, Playworld Superheroes, released today, so that I could play it and review the app. Opinions are 100% my own.

I interviewed the creator of Miles from Tomorrowland today via phone. We talked all about the show and I will post up our interview very soon.

I recorded another Dad.fm podcast tonight with Adam and Jeff. We talked about my interview with Sascha Paladino and also my recent Ozobot review. The episode is up at Dad.fm

Tonight was tough because I am full on sick and the city came by around 6:45pm with snowplows and completely buried the driveways and negated the paths I made on the sidewalks. Surprise, surprise that school would be called for the next two days because sidewalks weren’t safe.
