Great find of a free educational app made by the Waterford Institute.  We currently run the Waterford paid subscription for the PC in our K-2 building and the children really enjoy playing and learning on this software.  Features include:

• 4 Mental Math Games – Interactive addition and subtraction games with 25 progressive levels and 3D animation that encourages and challenges children, yet is so fun they don’t want to put it down.
• 5 Nursery Rhyme Read-Alongs – Creative nursery rhymes that encourage exploration and reading, in a board-book format with interactive features that appeal to pre-readers.
• 35 Songs – Catchy, original songs illustrate reading, math and science concepts in fun ways that make sense and stick with the child.
• 16 Traditional Tales books – Beautifully illustrated interactive read-along stories allow the child to choose if she wants to read on her own, be read to, or watch the story like a movie.

I just tested out this app and I am super excited to load it to our iPads in our K-2 Building.  Another perk to this app is "no in app purchase".  Love it!
