Nuko Apple Apps- educational and fun

Children games are all going digital so I love when I find fun and educational apps for the iPod. So I could wait when Nuko asked if I would be interested in reviewing their new apps called Monsterology and Animal Planet wildlands.

A bit more about NUKO Animal Planet wildlands cards and app: 
Collect the full set of 60 NUKO™ Animal planet wildlands cards: Collect, trade, learn about, and interact with 50 exotic animals, from giraffes to gorillas, lemurs to leopards, plus play with 10 customization cards that alter the environment, such as volcanic eruptions, or customize animals, such as zebra striping. Each animal card has a beautiful photograph of an animal with its name on the front, and its corresponding 3D model plus educational facts and figures on the back. Tap a NUKO™, run Wild: When the NUKO™ cards are tapped to the screen of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the animal on the NUKO™ card magically springs to life within the 3D world!

Nukotoys’ Animal Planet Wildlands combines the digital fun and adventure that children want with safe and educational content that parents demand. Within the app, kids can read educational facts about each animal, plus watch beautiful Animal Planet videos of animals in their natural habitats.

A little about Nuko Monsterology :
Monsterology is an innovative 3D turn-based strategy game based on the bestselling Ology book series. Players can collect the full set of 100 trading cards called 'Nuko' that magically come to life within the 3D game environment. Battle your way through twenty levels of gameplay. Spawn monsters, lay traps, play magical items against an AI opponent. 100 unique Nuko cards to collect. Varying level objectives offers ongoing replayability once the story mode is completed. Download the game for free in the App Store.

Our Opinion:
My kids couldn't wait to try these out! We downloaded the free app and was playing in minutes. We still havent figured out how to tap the cards to the iPod and all but the kids have really enjoyed playing the fun games and learning all about the animals. I love that the app is free and the cards are really cheap! This is a definite fun app for kids and even adults! So head to the Apple App store and download it today!

Wise-Pets review

Do your kids love playing on your tablets, Ipads, Ipods, Smartphones , and etc? Mine do and it makes me nervous that they will drop it and break it. We have the ipod touch 4g and a Samsung galaxy tab and trust me I know how easy it is to drop and break them even with cases on. So when we got the chance to test out Wise-pets you bet I was like yep let see how good this works!

So when we got it it looked like a medium sized stuffed animal. My kids thought he was cute haha. I thought hmm is this gonna work? I got the ones that fit the iPod. It was easy to slip the iPod into it and it stood in even with me tipping it over and shaking it a bit to see how well it stays. Yes I am that kind of tester haha. My youngest couldn't wait to play it. At first she thought it was a little weird carrying around this big animal just to play the iPod but that sure changed when she was able to sit it down and lay down and watch her Pocoyo show on it and didn't have to hold the ipod the whole show. The kids loved I could strap it to the van seat so all them could see and hear the movie on it. Now I need to get one for the tablet lol. I was impressed by the protection it gave the ipod and how much my kids loved playing on the ipod even though it was encased in the Wise-pets.

So if you have little ones who love to play with your technology gadgets you have to check out  Wise-pets. Trust me you will love them and they come in different characters so you can pick your favorite one!
