It is no secret that I love to sing. Noah loves to listen to
music and sing along too. When you are a
parent there will come a time when your child is crying uncontrollably. You might not be able to pick them up and
comfort them if it happens in the car.
Just ask me, once I had to sing the Car-X theme song. You know Rattle rattle
thunder clatter boom boom don’t worry call the Car-X man over and over again
while driving through Virginia. I am not
sure why that particular song worked when no other did, I was just thankful it
worked. His toy had stopped working and
I guess he was not happy about it so I improvised. I sang anything I could think of. I didn’t
have a Smartphone back then; I had a flip phone so apps were unheard of for me.
Now this uncontrollable crying incident or being bored or just wanting to
listen to music can happen anywhere. I
can’t carry a TV, a CD player or a DVD player everywhere but I always have my
phone. Now you can share apps with your children to teach them, and to
entertain them.
One of Noah’s
favorite songs now has its own app, 5 Little Monkeys. This app is adorable. I love when mama calls
the doctor. It is funny and entertaining too. The graphics are great, the monkeys are too
cute. It is something your child can
spend a lot of time doing without driving you crazy. I know that some apps are
very annoying, 5 Little Monkeys is a great educational app that will help your
child learn important vital skills. Some
of the skills are cognitive skills, memorization and counting. It can even teach your child pitch if you
dream of having a future rock star.
Here is more information from the developer:
5 Little Monkeys is available as a universal iOS app (iPhone, iPad, iPod). The app aims to help parents teach counting and language skills to kids while sharing the beloved nursery rhyme with beautiful graphics and sounds.
Featuring adorable animals, 5 Little Monkeys turns counting and language development into a fun-filled sing-a-long for young children. The repetitious quality of the nursery rhyme helps kids develop vital cognitive skills including: memorization, reasoning and comprehension. Additionally, nursery rhyme singing helps kids to learn pitch control, volume, and voice inflection.
