I did something completely unprecedented today in the name of honest blogging. I let my kid not only hold, but play, on my iPad. My iPad is for me. But, Lazoo had contacted me and encouraged me to allow my children to try their free “Let’s Color” and “Squiggles” apps. Graham LOVED them.
If I’m going to be honest with you, I have an additional confession. I told Graham the apps were only on “loan” and we had to give them back after he played with them today. But, if you knew my kid and how addicted he can become to technology, you’d understand.
I completely get that most families allow and encourage their children to play interactive, imaginative, and academic applications on their iPads, tablets and smart phones. Makes sense. The apps are absolutely amazing. I was just as impressed with the Lazoo applications as Graham was. In fact I came to a major realization…
With free apps like those Lazoo offers, we no longer need a portable DVD player in the car. I can trust my kid with an iPad while on a road trip; being in the car limits the ability for him to chuck my precious technology. It’ll keep him entertained, and if I hear “when will we get there?” 10 times less, I think it’ll be a win-win.
In addition to the free Lazoo iPad apps, the Lazoo product line includes adorable boy’s, girl’s and infant clothing, as well as accessories and activity books.
Graham’s rocking his hip Lazoo polo in the photo above, and Will’s sporting a lovely Dino bum in his Lazoo toddler shorts.
Be sure to download the free Lazoo apps, they are totally free and your kids will have a blast. Just be forewarned… you may never get to use your iPad again! (Feel free to use my little “it’s only on loan” trick. I’ll let you borrow it.) I’ve also got an awesome giveaway for you… We’ll be giving away a Lazoo activity book to one lucky CMF reader.

Great for roadtrips, I think I might actually have to SHARE my iPad for this one. My daughters love the Squiggles app, and they actually take turns without fighting. Thank you Lazoo and thanks Katie for sharing!
I would love to get this books!!! I being try to get it at Target but not Sussex ….
How how adorable are those Dino bum pants! Love them! I will have to look at this line of clothes for my boys!
I downloaded the free apps and LK loved them. I liked the interactive aspect of them. We already have a coloring app, so Lazoo’s added flair was a welcome change for her! Thanks for sharing with us!
