FarFaria is a much loved children’s App which will help children of a young age to get into reading in a new and interactive way. The books included are not only some of the old favourites a lot of parents will remember but they’ve added in some new books from lesser known authors which the kids will fall in love with.

A great feature of this App is that you will never run out of stories because five new stories will be added every week, so the fun never ends. Of course the stories aren’t all fictional, Intuary Inc. will include an educational book every two weeks.

Don’t worry if you aren’t always there to read to your kid because with every book comes a ‘Read with me’ feature, which will read the book to them even when they are offline.

We love this and will definitely be playing with this over the Christmas holidays!

This is why Mama Loves Tech!

Developer: Pixle

Foldify is a new App which let’s you create colourful and imaginative 3D cut outs straight from your iPad. This App really is a great tool for those who have kids and want to teach them about being creative.

The website says it all: “Create 3D figures on iPad. Then print and fold them from paper.”

When you’ve completed your design you don’t have to worry about wasting paper to see your finished product because you can preview the your artwork in 3D.

One of the greatest features of this App are the templates, which are pre-made shapes such as car and facial features, which are great for those that maybe not know where or how to start.
