The Kiddo

Some kids naturally play with their toys. Then there is my kid. He has ADHD. Focusing is not easy for him and neither is, what would be for other children, a small level frustration. Apps for our iPhone and iPad have been great tools for him (and us) to engage him in ways that he doesn't always get from traditional toys.

Casey's Contraptions- Update!



Update: It's back on the market now by Rovio... It's now called Amazing Alex

We found this app on the iPad's in the children's area of an Apple store. It is one of my favorite apps of all times and one of the highest rated I have ever seen.

Casey is a boy who needs help with knocking down books, moving skateboards, breaking forts and he gives you tools for this. Using catapults, scissors, shelves, ropes and buckets there are many ways to get the job done. On the way, collect stars (making it a little tougher) and unlock each of Casey's rooms for more interesting "contraptions".

BallFallDown



Fun, free and no constraints. What's not to love?

This is an opportunity for a child to just drop balls, place ramps, tubes and spinners and get the ball to go where ever (or create a basket for catching).

It can be as easy or as hard as wanted and it's a pleasant relaxing way to observe gravity!

Great for the easily frustrated since there are no timers!
