Score: 90.1%
What the testers said: “The apps featured simple stories that the children could read, have read to them, or even create for themselves. The children’s favourite was being given the option to make up their own stories, and then adding narration to pictures. They really enjoyed exploring each page by touching different objects on the screen. A fantastic tool for language and literacy development and very useful in supporting children’s enjoyment of books. Fantastic value too!”

Score: 80.4%
What the testers said: “This is a very nifty camera. The children loved using it – pressing all the buttons and then seeing their pictures on the screen. The camera takes excellent pictures and is easy for children to hold (although rather tricky for three- year-olds to use). A rechargeable battery would be more cost-effective.”
