These are a few of my favorite...apps!

I have made a  list of my all time favorite apps for the iphone/ipad...it was reeeeeeally long!!  So, I tried to shorten my list to my top 5 apps...I couldn't do it!  I didn't realize that I have THAT many favorites for my speech kiddos and my own little munchkins!  So..I've decided to ONLY tell you about one of my favorite apps that I've been using a lot this week...for now. I'll share more later. There's just too many apps and too little time...

Lazoo: Let's Color! *FREE*  (there is also Lazoo Zoo, Lazoo: Squiggles!, Lazoo: Miku's Picnic - ALL ALSO FREE).  Lazoo's Magic Stickers: $1.99  But for now, I'm just going to tell you about Lazoo: Let's Color!  The others are also AWESOME.  Please check them out if you're interested.
My kids and patients love this app.  There are 34 unique drawing pages.  It promotes creative thinking.  You can draw on the screen, and your drawings come to life when you press "go".  It also includes a Lazoo cartoon.  It's great for following directions, problem solving, creativity, talking about actions, answering WH questions, pronouns, vocab, articulation, expressive/receptive language...so..many..things!
Above shows a child holding a hose.  It asks: "what is coming out of the hose?" And you can draw whatever you want to come out of the hose.  You can choose colors, how you wish to paint (chalk, paintbrush, marker etc.) You can also add stickers, as shown below.  You then press "go", and the picture will "come to life".  ENJOY!!
