As we're moving into holiday season, I wonder whether anyone could share suggestions of interesting/fun apps for children (ie for iPads and similar devices)? I'm not looking for purely "educational" apps but, rather, fun games that are interesting and possibly secretly didactic as an alternative to what I think are mind-numbing "press the button and try to zap the widget"-type games. For example: I recently saw a game called "what's the word" where four seemingly unrelated photos appear and you need to figure out the link between them; or another game (can't remember the name" where rows of different coloured circles appear and you need to draw rings around the ones of the same colour without crossing lines; etc.
Apologies if this question is too "off topic"...
