Hitstory Kids App Review

Have you heard of Hitstory Kids?  Hitstory Kids is a new educational app geared for toddlers. 

The app is narrated by Peekaboo Peet, a friendly and fun hedgehog, who takes children on  a journey through history.  This app is free and available for both Iphone and Ipad.  I downloaded it onto my Ipad so the kids would have a bigger screen.

It can be found in the App Store, this is what it looks like.

Once downloaded

Hitstory Kids guides toddlers in a fun and interactive way on a journey through iconic episodes of American History.  They are magically introduced to characters, objects and symbols linked to historical facts. 

 

 Here is D watching and interacting with Columbus Sails

This particular app was quite fun because we just had Columbus Day a few weeks ago and David had given the kids a lesson on Columbus.  D was excited to see the three ships.  The main focus is on Columbus and his three ship sailing across the ocean to discover America.  The songs, graphics, and interactive opportunities (swiping, tapping, etc.) keep your toddler engaged.  In this app, toddlers enjoy finding Peet in vessels, carts, beneath the sand, playing with monkeys and other unexpected situations throughout the journey. 

 

 Here D found Peet in a barrel

This is the only toddler app geared just for history and was created by a group of passionate historians with the purpose to teach toddlers about American history, culture and the values and beliefs that were important in the making of American society.

Enjoying the adventure

I love the heart behind this app.  I think there is so much to learn from history and I appreciate that this app helps introduce history to younger ages in a fun and exciting way.  D has thoroughly enjoyed it.  I look forward to future versions of historical events from Hitstory Kids!  I cannot wait to see what they come up with next.
