It is often so hard if not impossible to get tots to sit still and pay attention.  However, it is essential to start educating their minds as soon as possible.  Today’s technology makes the learning process a little easier even for the smallest of learners.  Developers at Fairlady Media have made it even easier with their series of educational apps!  They offer a variety of award-winning apps, but let’s start with the bundle designed for the youngest of learners.

I have already recently written about two other apps by Fairlady Media: Camping with Grandpa and Smashing Grammar.  Camping with Grandpa is a fun way to teach children:

• Outdoor and survival skills: map reading, compass reading, trail safety, and more.
• How to identify different birds, flowers, trees, butterflies, and more.
• New vocabulary terms.
• And much more!

The Smashing Grammar app is a little different from the rest of Fairlady’s apps as it doesn’t feature the whacky, fun Grandma and Grandpa characters found in the other apps.  However, it is a fun way to teach children all about grammar.  When playing Smashing Grammar, children will learn:

• Nouns
• Verbs
• Syllables
• Verb tense
• Plurals
•  Vocabulary terms
• And more!

Now onto the exciting adventures designed specifically for early learners!
