A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a selection of apps by Fairlady Media designed for the earliest of learners.  Found within this list are apps teaching several life skills, academic skills, and much more.  There is another bundle available on iTunes featuring 4 more apps for “Big Kids” ages 6 and up.  (PLUS I’ve included their most recent app: At the Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa.)

The games found in the “Big Kids” bundle on iTunes are designed for children who have already mastered shapes, numbers, colors, and letters.  Once they’ve learned the basics of these subjects, they’re all set to venture into space with Grandpa, cook with Grandma, hang out in Grandpa’s Workshop, and play Music with Grandma!  For even MORE adventures, Fairlady Media recently launched At the Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa!
