About Me

Welcome to Apples and Apps. In old school style, we used to bring apples to the teacher. Now bring the teacher to you. As a Mom, I'm Keeping You Up-To-Date on the Latest Educational FREE and On SALE iPhone & iPad Apps. Why educational apps? Just like you, I have kids. And although they love Angry Birds, I'd like to see them learn something as well. And no, I have absolutely NO affiliation with Apple or any of its products… although I am writing this on a MacBook.

Curious George at the Zoo for iPad


Curious George at the Zoo
Developed by one of the world’s largest providers of educational materials for Pre-K–12 learning, Curious George at the Zoo is a fun, engaging and entertaining app that will also support your child’s learning and development along the way. 

Is your child curious about animals? Curious George is! George has been asked to help out at 
the zoo. George needs your child’s help to wake, clean and feed the animals.


In the pop-up menu, your child can explore the zoo and listen to audio narration by the Man in the Yellow Hat. Within the animal enclosure, visit animals, wake them up, learn what food they like to eat and develop hand-eye coordination by dragging, tapping, rubbing and more. There are also videos where kids can watch movie of each animal in its natural habitat. There are also games that work on memory skills, sorting ability and reasoning skills.

Must be connected to WiFi for initial download.
