Dr Panda has left the hospital and set himself up in a restaurant. Kids love mastering the 10 recipes to feed their guests, playing the three mini games and immersing themselves in this highly interactive game. My kids love the game, I love the ad and in-app purchase-free zone!

This is a great app for instilling a love of reading into technologically-savvy children! The app includes two free books which are fully interactive and feature three reading modes. With over one hundred titles and more added each week, PlayTales seems like a game but teaches like a book!

This app could be fantastic if you're heading to a festival this summer. Vyclone lets you create video footage from clips uploaded by others at the event. It only takes seconds to sync and edit a movie created by everyone who was there! Pretty awesome!

Aimed at children of all ages, My Little Memory Game is a fun way for your child to develop essential skills. Once a pair is formed, the app shows how to write and speak the name, as well as what noise it makes. Lots of learning fun!

This is a great app for holiday season. Find out where to find the best airport food, connect to free wi-fi, find the best coffee or things to do with your free time waiting for departure. Also features a packing to-do list, live flight information, online chat and much more.

This interactive book was very well received by my sons. The reader needs to tickle, shake, rub, cut and colour various items for the story to progress, a fact which young children seemed to love. The app contains 5 stories, one extra game and comes very highly recommended by me!

To The Farm! is a great kids' e-book which manages to be educational and fun! With 5 user modes, it can be tailored to your child's reading level, in each of six languages. Modes include Autoplay, Reading Words, Easy Spelling, Spelling and Sentence Reading. They even get congratulated when appropriate!

I'm always looking out for great pre-schooler apps and Dr Panda, Teach Me! falls into the category effortlessly. Featuring 10 games involving colour, shapes, matching, memory, counting and differences, it's easy to see why it's App of the Week in several countries. Multilingual educational awesomeness!

NBA JAM was a firm console favourite of mine as a teenager so I was hugely excited to see a mobile version! With over 30 teams, 3 play modes and all the features from the much-loved 90s game, it's a wonderful trip down retro gaming memory lane. Boomshakalaka!
