I’ve raved before about Barefoot World Atlas — the spinning globe that brings a traditional atlas into a new realm for young kids. Well, Touch Press has wowed me again, with five fantastic extension packs. If you haven’t tried out this app, please take a look!
Barefoot World Atlas
app developed by
TouchPress and Barefoot Books
available at iTunes App Store
ages 5-10
Young children have a difficult time envisioning the large extent of our world. It’s so hard to see how the separate parts relate to the whole. This app lets kids physically spin the globe, zooming in and out, and then learning a specific region. It’s tactile and visual — and kids love it!
Barefoot World Atlas: extension packs
Touch Press and Barefoot Books have added five extension packs that enable kids to explore their different interests on a global level. Each is available as an in-app purchase, so children and families can choose what piques their interest:
- Great Cities
- North America
- International Football
- World Art
- Puzzles
