Our friends at KinderTown just released an awesome new educational tool called Parent Power Packs. What's even more exciting is that they chose Wee Alphas for their Letters and Sounds Power Pack, pairing our app with other activities to support your kiddo getting ready to read.
Each Power Pack is a mini teaching guide tailored to help parents teach their kids important skills by combining mobile app play with fun, educational experiences that don't involve technology at all. We love that.
Thanks to KinderTown for including us in such a wonderful tool! Get the free KinderTown app and check out all the Power Packs.

Cool Mom Tech, one of our favorite resources for tech tips, named their most highly recommended apps from 2012 for little kids and preschoolers – and Wee Alphas is at the top of the list.
Here's what they had to say about it: "[The Wee Alphas] app is just wonderful. Not only does it look clean and beautiful, it really teaches helpful skills from letter recognition to vocabulary and even those fine motor skills you get from stealing Mommy's iPad."
Thanks, Cool Mom Tech!

Preschoolers on your list will love the silly stories and quirky animation surprises of the Wee Alphas gang. Gifting the app is more personal than an iTunes gift card, but just as easy to give – to preschoolers, favorite teachers, or even to your local library or children's hospital.
To gift the Wee Alphas app, just click the arrow to the right of the Buy button in the App Store, and choose "Gift This App" from the drop-down menu. You'll need to fill in your recipient's (and your) details, such as names, email addresses and a personal message. Then you can choose to print a gift page to hand-deliver, or you can have the gift sent directly via email.
