What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Feed Me! - Pencilbot Preschool is a fun and colorful learning game for kids under five, with a fantastic gimmick -- you "feed" your answers to the adorable monster. The free app comes with over 100 questions, but other question packs can be purchased separately for 99¢ each. This can easily be done from the app's homepage, so if you don't want to buy them, make sure your kids don't "accidentally" purchase them on their own. Also, be aware when downloading, that there are multiple versions of Feed Me! in different languages -- be sure to choose the correct one.

Is it any good?

 

FEED ME! - PENCILBOT PRESCHOOL gives kids an adorable pet monster to play with. He's hungry, but he only wants to eat correct answers. As basic preschool questions pop up, kids drag the appropriate answer to the monster's mouth for him to chow down on. It's great fun. Collecting correct answers will also earn funny and cute awards for a virtual trophy room that can be accessed on the app's homepage. Additional question packs cost 99¢ each, but can contain up to 175 new questions and, honestly, seem worth the money.
