FreezePaint iPhone App Review

by

FreezePaint iPhone App (99cents itunes store)

When I was given the opportunity to review this App I was mainly thinking of the kids but so far they haven’t even had a chance to play with it.  This app has 3 uses that I can see.

1: Use it for Scrapbooking a collection of images from an event (see japanese dinner pic) to  use in digital scrapbooking or to share on Facebook or e-mail.

2: Use it to entertain the kids with fun interactive photo taking.

3: Use it to  entertain a bunch of adults who can play around putting heads on wrong bodies adding big google eyes to each other or as I did, add my mothers dogs nose to her head and finished off with giving her some enlarged wrinkle free eyes.

We had lots of fun with this app and it was very easy to use. It took us about 5 mins to understand what to do (We were too lazy to read the instructions or watch the video)

Bastille Day for Kids

When I was writing about France the other day, it occurred to me that Bastille Day was also coming up (July 14, to be precise), and I wasn’t sure that I had written about it before. On further digging I realized I had, but it’s been a few years, so let’s take a look at some more ideas for celebrating this pivotal day in French history. Of course anything in the post on France would be great to do as well. 

First, if you want to start with a kid-friendly explanation of Bastille Day, get the basics from Britannica Kids. 

Learn more about the French Revolution and play the Storming the Bastille game from Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool +. It looks a little like Chutes (or Snakes) and Ladders to me, but I think you might start over instead of just going back when you hit a guillotine space. She also has a France unit study that includes a printable lapbook and making pain au’ chocolat. 

The Princess and the Frog made a wafer cookie Eiffel Tower (which they originally found on our Edible Crafts site; love a full circle moment!). When I went looking for that I also saw Eiffel towers made of pretzels and gingerbread, so get creative with your building challenges. 

Make a fun French flag collage with this tutorial from Sparkle Living Blog (via Real Creative Organized). Search for French clip art or royalty free photos online to add to your artwork. And if you’re looking for more France themed crafts, check out this collection from Artsy Craftsy Mom. My favorite is the little printable city, which came from Handmade Charlotte, but there are lots of cute craft ideas here for Bastille Day or an day. 

Grab some Bastille Day coloring pages from Plantz Matter, which also has a little French lesson if you want to learn some basics. Coloring Pages for Kids also has some good options for Bastille Day coloring.
